Peter, I don't think "superstition" is the correct word here.  If the crop
was "cursed" then this word would apply but unfortunately it is not cursed
but poisoned.  I think the best words to describe my reaction to the
situation would be "logical instinct" If someone has put poison on a crop to
kill insect, weed or whatever then I don't think eating that crop will do me
any good.  The fact that millions of dollars have been spent determining
lethal doses etc only proves to me that the product is dubious.  You must
also ask yourself who is spending this money and are they to be trusted!  It
is my experience when so much money is available that corruption is also
very prevalent.
