The Environmental Protection Agency is moving forward with approvals for pesticides containing “forever chemicals” as an active ingredient, dismissing concerns about health and environmental impacts raised by some scientists and activists.
This month, the agency approved two new pesticides that meet the internationally recognized definition for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS or fluorinated substances, and has announced plans for four additional approvals. The authorized pesticides, cyclobutrifluram and isocycloseram, which was approved Thursday, will be used on vegetables such as romaine lettuce, broccoli and potatoes.

Every country in the world should ban food from the US.
I’m sorry if you’re American, you’re fucked, but it’s what you guys voted for. The rest of the world should try and save itself
The “fun” part is that ‘forever chemicals’ really are what they’re claiming to be on the label. Practically every living thing on the planet has some PFAS stuff in their body. Veritasium made a video about that a while back.
Most don’t vote at all
Gotta remember that that’s what some voted for
As an American I agree, I don’t trust our government to do the right thing and big corporations run all our farms. I don’t trust them to do the right thing either.
Unfortunately, that shit gets into the water and makes its way everywhere.
