Default The most toxic town in America (Monsanto)

It's got nothing to do with "believing" Monsanto. The point here is
that the article quoted is irrelevant to "recent discussions" on this
newsgroup. Roundup has no PCBs. The article was about PCBs.

The original post was intended to deceive. Now who has the credability
problem?


Fine, you don't want to believe the article is relevant to "recent
discussions" - I'll make it relevant:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/...in528581.shtml
Today, parts of Anniston are so contaminated that residents have been
told not to grow vegetables in the soil, kick up dirt, eat food, chew
gum or smoke cigarettes while working in their yards.


Do not grow vegetables from soil imported from Anniston. Use discretion
when using soil or water from or near former PCB chemical factories. Be
aware of ecological indicators of high PCB whether they are thin bird
shell eggs or incontinent pets. Polychlorinated biphenyls are persistent
chemicals that do not readily degrade through natural processes but are
readily distributed by the same.
