Eating habits have changed now, due to which malnutrition related diseases have started appearing. Apart from this grains, fruits, vegetables etc. produced by the use of these toxic chemicals have become extremely harmful to human health. Farmers are most affected by these toxic chemicals because they are in direct contact with it and also they consume poisonous grains.
