Default Whatıs On My Food?

Again. Thanks to chatnoir for pointing me to this site.

http://www.whatsonmyfood.org/

Whatıs On My Food? is a searchable database designed to make the
public problem of pesticide exposure visible and more understandable.

How does this tool work? We link pesticide food residue data with the
toxicology for each chemical, making this information easily
searchable for the first time

Use the tool, share it with others: we built it to help move the
public conversation about pesticides into an arena where you donıt
have to be an expert to participate.

At Pesticide Action Network (PAN), we believe that pesticides are a
public health problem requiring public engagement to solve. We want
you to have the information you need to take action based on a solid
understanding of the issues. Whatıs On My Food? builds on PANıs 28-
year tradition of making pesticide science accessible.

Doing something for the good of others, and expecting nothing in return.
Neo-liberals won't like that.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower, 16 April 1953
