Pesticides can be both beneficial and harmful. On the pro side, they help crop yield by eliminating pests that would eat the crops, such as the boll weevil, or various worms that attack corn, carrots, cabbage and other produce. This provides more food for the population. The con side is that pesticides often contain toxic chemicals that work their way into the food supplies and ground water. These chemicals can cause disease and death in humans.
