Agricultural pesticides aim to protect crops from pests and insects, which may end up compromising crop production and food quality. But their use can end up generating a discussion, such as their benefit to the environment. Over the years, efforts have been made to improve its use, resulting in plant extracts and microbial agents, such as nematodes, which are used in pesticides to combat pathogens. This would improve our health, and would have a much lesser impact on the environment, as it is easy to use in the soil and does not leave residues. The use of pesticides can be seen as a "medicine" for plants, but if used in excess it is harmful, they are perceived as an enemy of the environment and also of health, but their use is important for mass production of food, so that the population does not lack, for example, the use of defensives help the food to have a slower decomposition, aiming at its quality for consumption. If used correctly, pesticides can be a great ally to meet all the population's demand and generate great savings for the country.

(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2019-06-30) RAMOS, Bárbara Alessandra; FIGUEIREDO, Débora de Oliveira; SILVA, Gabriele de Padua; CAETANO, Maria da Graça Rezende; OLIVEIRA, Tainara Bossato de; CARVALHO, Victória Júlia Zanetti de; SANTOS, Amilton Cesar dos; ROSSI, Cintia Lima; SOUZA, Carlos Alberto Colozzo de; SANTOS, Odair José dos
The consumption of fast food has been gradually increasing in a contemporary society, where speed has been dominating, and the habit of eating processed foods is increasingly common. Due to globalization and its technologies, most people have been adopting a very caloric eating habit, rich in fats, carbohydrates and salt and without any nutritional value, due to the extremely modern way of life and without long intervals of time. As a result, countries like Japan, the United States of America, Australia, Brazil, among others, have a high rate of cardiovascular diseases, caused by obesity, diabetes, hypertension (due to excessive consumption of salts), and especially bad cholesterol (LDL) in the blood. Modernity, without a doubt, has created several factors, from the lack of time, as well as the ease that makes up our need to ingest food for the maintenance of our body. However, this need must be met with foods that will benefit every anatomical part of our body.
