Scary Article About New Pesticide, Methyl Iodide, To Be Sprayed On Our Food.

Usually on Sunday nights I start working on posts for the upcoming week and I just came across a story over at Nature Moms that will make your blood boil. Seems the EPA has gone and approved a dangerous new toxin to be used on our nation’s crops – Methyl Iodide. This stuff is a neurotoxin and a carcinogen – yet they have approved it. No fewer than 54 scientists, including five Nobel laureates in chemistry, think it should not be allowed. But did the EPA listen to them? Nope. Go read more about this story over at Nature Moms, and be sure to read the article from the LA Times as well. And thanks To Nature Moms for putting this article together – scary stuff!
