My opinion is: since the world's population continues to grow at an astronomical rate, I believe it is better to use chemicals and continue to be able to feed all those people rather than just let them starve. When better alternatives come along, as they do all the time, then we can continue integrating them into modern food production practice.

Just so you know, the US EPA definition of "pests" includes weeds.
