Yes, precisely the issue. Politicians won't act against their big Ag or Big Pharma donors unless we make it perfectly clear these issues are deal-breakers. Every one of us.

Can't do them all, don't do any? I'm not buying it. There is a hit list we're working on that are the most toxic. See Bruce Lanphear et al.s work in particular.

Scott, what is your proposal by which we make it so atrazine is no longer in our food supply? Is do you have something that would work overnight?

When humans engage each other to problem solve together, oftentimes political solutions are necessary.

We will see what happens with atrazine. Please note that other poisons have been removed from the market as a direct result of these kinds of activities.

Wow, I didn’t know about this herbicide. They must do a good job of cover up. Just researched it. Can’t believe it is still used. I eat most organic and pastured and filter all my water that I consume. Restaurants???

After the last 2+ years it has become obvious that they mean to do us [intentional] harm and this wasnt just recently, it has only just become more obvious...

What, pray tell, are the farmers supposed to use for weed control? If we are going to take a stand against glyphosate and atrazine, we have to also be for some yet-unnamed effective alternative.

Permaculture - make a goal of turning 5-10% of their effort to permaculture per year. Phase out the toxins.

I looked up my local water source and the site shows that the levels are equal to that which they allow. What a coincidence. Will comment - Done, donated.
