A #pesticide reportedly developed by the Nazis for #chemicalWarfare, known as #chlorpyrifos, commonly used to control pests in #agriculture since 1965 has finally been banned by the #EPA, after being banned in #California by a courtOrder last year.

It is proved to cause #developmentalProblems, lower #learning, #hyperactivity and #anxiety.

The use of it is not banned in #Australia, but is apparently regulated.

Despite being banned for household use traces are present in 75% of US citizens.

New report on #heavyMetals in #babyFood and other #foods not just for #children's consumption.

Its not getting the #corporateMedia's attention due to #advertising money, but these toxic substances cause lifelong #developmentalProblems and #brainInjury:

So many questions here…

Why is #topSoil riddled with #lead and #mercury? When were #farmers told to remove this topsoil?

#food #publicHealth

Juul manufacturer faces RICO charges for marketing to youth

The FDA has yet to respond to a congressional report showing dangerous levels of lead and mercury in baby foods

@Mycroft
Yes, a #UBI would be a step in the right direction.

The race to the bottom needs to stop, kids are increasingly growing up with #mentalProblems and #developmentalProblems because they are basically forced to eat garbage and/or live in #apartments with little access to #useable #greenSpace.

The #CEOclass use tricks to encourage #workers to accept worse and worse #workingConditions over time. A UBI reduces the amount of abuse the #sociopath can inflict.

Most def. For children they don't #developmentalProblems without access to nature.

Also #heavyMetals in things screw them up. Its been known for decades, you'll find old programs from the 70s and 80s about it. Yet the #managerials always manage to slip them into things.
