The clearances landed five days after the Supreme Court sharply curtailed Americans' ability to sue pesticide makers over cancer warnings,

The level of corruption is staggering.

Make America Toxic Again.....

And the Administration are genuinely bemused as to why we (UK and EU) refuse to import american food

Corn and soybeans.

…so, everything almost.

Never let RFK Jr convince you that they give a shit about public health

Isolate the US from the rest of the world.

On the same day the agency broadened the use of bifenthrin, an older fluorinated insecticide, to coffee, kiwifruit, peas, kale and broccoli. It also approved the first US food use of chlormequat on wheat, barley and oats, a growth regulator already detected in the urine of roughly 90% of Americans and linked in studies to reduced fertility and reproductive toxicity.

The approvals arrived after Kyle Kunkler, a former lobbyist for the American Soybean Association, was installed as deputy assistant administrator for pesticides. The soybean association had lobbied in favour of both new herbicides through the public docket. They mark the third and fourth PFAS pesticide clearances under the current administration, following cyclobutrifluram and isocycloseram.

I said elsewhere the termination of trade agreements with Mexico and Canada are funny, because now they lose a headache. UK, Israel, EU not so much.

Scary to see this around the same time Carney's govt here in Canada decided to give themselves the power to overrule Health Canada bans on toxic pesticides if they ever feel like it.

Can you sue the farmer who uses them?

It's a pity that I was already boycotting anything American. This would have been a perfect reason to boycott American food.

If you have a local farm share program, I highly recommend signing up. We have gotten to know the lovely family growing our summer veggies and they send out weekly email updates about how the farm is doing, recipes for what we have in stock the next week, etc. It’s a great way to get closer in touch with where your food comes from, as well as reduce the rate that we are being pickled by PFAS

BIO food for the wealthy and mass grown crops riddled with this toxic disease for everyone else.

This kills the agricultural exports

Won't touch foot from US.

It’s cool that he can do shit like this… and still not go to jail.

That is a very klunky headline. Which was never before used in America: the major food crop or the forever chemical pesticides?
