How sad to lose a child because nobody did their job. How do we allow it and when will the public realize that we are playing with fire? Nobody is immune to these dangers. A pesticide destroyed my health and my life so it only makes sense that the danger is even higher for a small child. How many people must become ill or die before we demand extensive testing before products are marketed? How do we explain this to the mother of this child? Heartbreaking!

I didn't mean to post that so quickly. The USDA (Tom Vilsack) awarded the American Farm Bureau Federation a 1.5 million dollar 'grant' today. This is mind blowing!! The roaches in bed with Monsanto, Dow, FMC, Syngenta etc... I am LIVID!

Vilsack's nomination from agricultural groups was largely positive and included endorsements from the Corn... See More Refiners Association, the National Grain and Feed Association, the National Farmers Union,**** the American Farm Bureau Federation****, and the Environmental Defense Fund. Vilsack has repeatedly demonstrated a preference for large industrial farms and genetically modified crops

Opposition to the nomination came from the Organic Consumers Association

Kristen Beyond Pesticides: The White House has nominated Mr. Siddiqui for the position of chief agricultural negotiator in the office of the United States trade representative. He is presently a vice president at CropLife America, a coalition of the major industrial players in the pesticide industry, including Syngenta, Monsanto, Dow Chemical an...d DuPont. That job doesn’t seem to square with the Obama administration’s professed interest in more sustainable, less chemically dependent approaches to agriculture. Nor does much of the rest of Mr. Siddiqui’s résumé.

We track honey bees because we pilf their food stores. What's happening to other insects humans don't even know and, for the most part, don't care. Eyoo! A bug! Smash it!

Yes but thankfully science does come through to provide facts for all to see... and we get another opportunity to gain support for restrictions and bans.
