This is the kind of information you need, if you are going to make
informed decisions.


I thought you distrusted the Fed?

By and large. So what does that have to do with the Pesticide Action
Network?


It is just good to see PAN agrees with the Fed and their database , but
most importantly that the findings show we are all safe.
My first thoughts were these Guys had an agenda and were going to push
Precautionary Principles.

I'm sure that the big lobbies that spread lots of cash around, aren't
too happy with them.


Chemical companies want to sell. Framers don't want to test.
Monsanto, Cargill, and Archer Daniel Midlands just want subsidies.


I do have to ask, do these pickup lines still work? True, their totally
diversionary, but they both also seem so, I don't know.... irrelevant.

BTW, ever read up on Dr. Bruce Ames, UC Berkeley? good read on toxins and
such.

another info site on chemicals:
http://www.scorecard.org/chemical-profiles/
you can use your zip to drill down to see whats is in your area, even gets
down to specific issues.

& If you promise not to nit-pick,
http://www.mackinac.org/article.aspx?ID=6075 has some very good background
facts. Some still floats around the Internet discussions a bit,
......But do check out Dr. Ames, he has a lot more to say about pesticides,
quite illuminating, not casually dismissed.
