  1. 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.

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

    So many questions here…

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

  3. CW: capitalism wondering

    @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.
