How US regulators embrace toxic pesticides & the corporations that make them. As an increasing number of hazardous chemicals are banned around the world, they remain legal in the US.
Why are American regulators so slow to move, and who benefits from their inaction? Dozens of pesticides, up to 85 in total, approved for widespread agricultural use in the United States have been banned elsewhere in the world. For example, the US allows 11 different pesticides banned in China, and 17 that have been prohibited in Brazil.
The contrast is especially stark in Europe. The recently banned pesticide chlorpyrifos has serious genotoxic and neurological effects, especially in children, the European Food Safety Authority warned in a report published over the weekend. The pesticide, which comes up for re-approval in January, does not comply with EU health regulations because a safe exposure level cannot be established, even at the lowest experimental quantity. / Meanwhile, the Trump administration has elevated regulatory capture to an art form. Not only was Pruitt named to head the EPA, but former Monsanto lawyer Aurelia Skipwith was appointed director of Fish and Wildlife Services, while Alex Azar, former president of pharma giant Eli Lilly, runs the Department of Health and Human Services.
These appointments demonstrate to companies like Monsanto and Lilly, who have been caught time and again covering up evidence of their misdeeds, that all is forgiven as long as they turn a profit. Not only has the EPA green-lighted chlorpyrifos, glyphosate, and sulfoxaflor – a pesticide known to harm bees, which are dying at an unprecedented rate, posing a serious threat to the world’s food supplies – but it has given up on the pretense of actually regulating agribusiness.
"After all this, it’s no surprise that just 11 percent of Americans trust Congress, and even Big Business only enjoys 23 percent support, according to a Gallup poll conducted earlier this year. A Princeton University study in 2014 – while Barack Obama was president – confirmed that the US is no longer a democracy, but an oligarchy. When the interests of average Americans clash with the interests of the rich, the rich always prevail."
Dumbass Americans don't care because they use canned shit anyway.

None of this is true, 1) there are more banned pesticides and chemicals used in growing areas outside of the USA. 2) walnuts grown in China come off the tree rancid because of terrible air quality alone, but nothing is truly banned in China.

Nigeria has banned Chinese made and grown food products because of the danger to their citizens health and lives. Plastic rice and tomato paste filled with dye and sawdust. The food made in China isn't even food most of the time.
Charles Johnson
>Plastic rice and tomato paste filled with dye and sawdust. Typical American diet anyways, ...WTF are you bitching about.
Hudson Ramirez
Top tens most toxic and fake foods made in china 1) chemical imitation eggs 2) walnuts shells filled with cement 3) fake beef 4) fake green peas with chemical industrial bleach dye 5) toxic baby formula 6)industrial salt sold as table salt 7) mud sold as black pepper 8) fake sweet potatonoodles 9) fake ginseng 10) plastic rice
Caleb Ward
I admire your admonishment, but it's already too late.
fucking btfo. I'd defend him but I don't even know how to respond because I have a dumb burger brain. Thanks few people who benefit off poisoning an entire country's food supply!
It's like they took a 60 year old KGB agent and gave him Russian-quality meme generator software, a huge database of stock photos, and had him study 2ch.
Jack Torres
I believe it. American "food" is all oversized mutant garbage. It probably contributes to why mutts are so retarded overall and why they can never name the jew.
Interesting that this should be posted now just as China asks all food companies that by American crops to cease purchasing. This is in retaliation for Americas increased tariffs but the Chinese response couldn't be better timed because the coming month is the yearly peak for buying and selling American agricultural products. This next month accounts for a very large portion of the yearly figure so any harm done now will have a lasting affect for the coming year.
Logan Watson
Most of it is Kosher. Like, we literally sit here eating food that a rabbi cast Jew curses on. How can that not have ill effects?
Dylan Miller
You're either a chink or a russian I can make claims all day too
It turns out the grocery store in the black people section of town cut the prices on a large amount of produce by half in order to move more locally-grown stuff. The one in the Jewish section of town also has locally-grown stuff in quantity, but they're still charging full price.
For me, it's the black ppl nabe.

Why do they enjoy pooping their pants in public so much?
>pay 50 cents for a head of lettuce >pay 3 dollars for one
Hard choice for most people senpai...
William Hernandez
>Why do they enjoy pooping their pants in public so much? Apparently because of their American Constitution that gives them the Right to Free shitting in public. It's their culture.
Justin Anderson
Did Trump was planing to let go of a silent fart and he got a wet one instead .... LOL
China is already on a downward slope, shill user. Fascist China has been outplayed by a fat old white man named Donald. Cope. >but muh pic shows a tractor with an acres worth of grain. Russia doesn't have the agriculture capabilities to "replace" the US. And Russia doesn't have the buying power to sustain Chinas bullshit manufacturing. Millions will be jobless in the next year in China.
Blake Hall
people will think this is bullshit, but it's true. Californian wines contain chemicals that are known to cause both liver failure and brain damage. State regulators found it, but kept it on the shelf anyways. This stuff will kill you if you drink too much of it at once.
Parker Reyes
Nobody here cares about us Americans. Just live to serve process and the state.

Any ethanol does that. Dihydrogen monoxide is toxic too, and we make babies drink it!
Cooper Barnes
On a serious note, no one beats the US on land management. Russia killing its fields by planted wheat over and over isnt doing them any favors.
Logan Gonzalez
No joke I learned about RT back when it first started up from a counterintelligence guy who worked on Reagan's campaign staff. They do a pretty god job of picking up things that the western media tries to pretend don't exist.
Josiah Murphy

The part of southern Brazil I visited really felt like it was sort of an alternate reality version of the western US.

Jace Long
Yeah, bro. We know. They poison the food, water and air. We're fucked and we can't do anything about it because the normies can't be bothered and the corporations have billions.
Anthony Phillips
>They do a pretty god job of picking up things that the western media tries to pretend don't exist. Exactly. They have different style then many other news outlets. Most of their Shows and Documentaries are outstanding.
RUPTLY was a good idea as well. Give everybody with an internet connection access to raw footage. Sure, it's still coming from Russian editorial decisions, but it's a lot closer to a professional-quality version of some nigger who happens to have a cell phone out in the right place at the right time.
Blake Bell
You shills realize you're shilling to eachother, right?
He's shilling RT with content. You're shilling anti-RT with no content. I'm just the peanut gallery.

he's a russian. he's here every fucking day at the same time window fishing clicks for RT. he always uses the hippie flag

John Brooks
I'm not shilling anything. I didn't bring up RT. This faggot did.
Juan Smith
How could you bring it up first when he's the OP? I mean, duh. That didn't stop you from harping on RT for the last 5 of your 7 posts. Calm down. It's not really much different from NPR, BBC, or PressTV.
Ryan Powell
>I'm not shilling anything. I didn't bring up RT. This faggot did. Try this next time you enter my RT STORY thread.
Ahh, I was replying to the subject. Not the faggot propaganda link you posted and paraphrased. He posted 10 RT links in a reply to me... as of that's a fucking proof. And not a single one from 2019. Ha ha. You faggots aren't fooling anyone. A Russian Memeflag and a Chink with a Burger Flag. Classic.

I wish I were a cute chinky boy (cute being the important part because most of them are absolute potatoes). But the fact is my family jumped ship to the US because things were really starting to suck in and around the October Revolution. You're not going to find a lot of sympathy for Ivans or Zhangs among the older ones.
1)."American Farmers Confront a Mental Health Crisis" By Mario Parker March 20, 2019 “The retaliatory tariffs by China have hurt basedbean exports,” Rosmann said. “They’ve hurt our relations with other countries as well to a lesser extent, partly just because of the skepticism that surrounds the reliability of what the U.S. is doing.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-03-20/america-s-farmers-call-for-help-as-debts-climb-to-1980s-levels
2). "China Deals ‘Body Blow’ to Struggling U.S. Farm Belt" Farmers, agricultural groups decry retaliatory move to stop buying U.S. crops and livestock. The U.S. Farm Belt braced for deeper pain from the escalating trade battle between the world’s two biggest economies after China said it would suspend all imports of U.S. agricultural goods.
China’s move will affect farmers raising fuzzy green basedbean pods in Illinois, milking cows in California and feeding hogs in North Carolina, all of whom have seen business suffer as a result of tariffs that Chinese officials implemented last year.
China’s suspension of U.S. farm purchases is a “body blow” to U.S. farmers and ranchers, said Zippy Duvall, a Georgia farmer and head of the American Farm Bureau Federation. “We urge negotiators to redouble their efforts to arrive at an agreement, and quickly,” he said. wsj.com/articles/china-deals-body-blow-to-struggling-u-s-farm-belt-11565093998
3). "Russia feeds off Trump trade war while US corn-belt farmers suffer" 17 FEBRUARY 2019 For more than 30 years, Joe Peiffer has worked as a lawyer looking after farmers in Iowa, in the heart of the US corn belt. Now he is watching history repeat itself with a wave of bankruptcies across the farm belt. telegraph.co.uk/business/2019/02/17/russia-feeds-trump-trade-war-us-corn-belt-farmers-suffer/
I am a farmer, faggot. We are doing just fine. Stop shilling your bullshit.
Blake Morales

Ryder Rogers
It's all true. Our money is sheathed in parasites and our healthcare system is a giant organ harvesting ring. Nobody should be eating our food or coming here at all. It's a hellscape of suffering and liberalism and there are countries who have better food and money, like Sweden, Germany, Norway and Russia.

I was once working for this chink lady and after she felt comfortable telling me what she really thought (for like an hour straight and on such relevant topics as her experience as the video rental store or how Japanese is really just stolen Chinese with a disgusting accent) she asked me a question in hushed tones. >why is the food here so bad?
