[Avodah] Insects in our salads

[Micha Berger]

There is a metzi'us difference between now and my childhood...

They eliminated DDT etc... which would kill everything, and now use more
targeted insecticides. These are aimed at getting rid of the bugs that
would harm sales. Fewer smaller bugs are getting killed.

In the days before insecticide, there were more larger bugs, keeping the
nearly (but not quite) invisible ones' population down.

For bugs too small to have an impact on sales, they live in a golden era.

Tir'u baTov!
