Insane article. The vast majority of this increase is because we were exposed to burn pits in #Iraq and #Afghanistan. It’s our generation’s agent orange.

As a #BurnPit veteran myself, The Economist is absolutely wrong here. My guess is there were no burn pit vets on the board that wrote this.

Residents of #Colfax #Louisiana are continuing to fight against Clean Harbors’ #BurnPit, as they find themselves facing #FoodInsecurity. In this rural town, people who were once able to supplement their food supply with home raised chicken or garden vegetables are no longer able to spend the time outdoors needed to tend to their gardens/livestock.
