Better living through chemistry. You can run, but you can't hide from Dow Chemical.

Our own City of Portland sells and sends our sewage "compost" out to eastern Oregon and other places. Problem is, it does not have an EPA screening process for contaminant standards, what few there are. So all those flushed chemicals, heavy metals, etc. are hanging around for uptake into the plant system and eventually consumed through biomass, milk etc. EPA.... always looking out for us.
And don't forget those nanomaterials, hormones, psychiatric meds and other pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals -- and their synergistic by-products) in contemporary western society's excretions. YUM!

A good case can be made to abolish all of the "alphabet soup" agencies: The FDA, EPA, USDA, etc.
They have proven time and time again that they were created to protect the food producer, not the food consumer.
