Journal: Having Faith by Sandra Steingraber

As a woman, I feel that Sandra Steingraber’s piece, Having Faith, is very important. It explains how much harm you can do to your own body as well as your children if you pass on these pesticides from your food to your breast milk. I think Steingraber is right in wanting this information to be explained to people everywhere, especially women because it so intimately affects their lives and the lives of those most important to them. I think it is right to explain to people the harm in pesticides so that women no longer have to be afraid to breast feed, which should really be the healthiest thing for their babies. As long as farmers use chemicals to grow their food, however, we can’t make the steps to living a healthier life, therefore women need to push the importance of organic foods and educate others.
