That's the case when it comes to the agribusiness. Many uninformed (or even just plain evil) folks say that all chemicals used in agriculture are bad, yet they seem to forget it would be nearly impossible to grow some staple crops such as rice without chemicals. Once I went to a rice farm where a cropduster aircraft was being used to spread urea, which is used to replenish Nitrogen to the soil. The same chemical is also used on the DPF which is used in Diesel engines to decrease emissions. So, how would that chemical be inherently bad? Not to mention some skin care products also have urea on their formulation.
