Our podcast, #WhatYoureEating, is back with new episodes starting 9/12! Stay tuned as we talk with experts (like @defendourhealth, @OnyxCoffeeLab and @rowenwhite_seed) about PFAS, coffee, biodiversity and more timely food issues. Available wherever you listen to podcasts!

@bennettpeer @PEERorg @EPA @nebiosolids Last year, we released a podcast episode that told the story of the PFAS found on farms across Maine. Now @nytimes is covering the impacted farms in Texas and beyond. The scale of contamination is only becoming more apparent. Listen to the episode: foodprint.org/what-youre-eat…

That "Something" is #PFAS. PFAS is poisoning America's farms. This article talks about @PEERorg's lawsuit against @EPA. @nebiosolids is correct; "regulators should focus on banning [PFAS] use in consumer products." Our food supply is contaminated. nytimes.com/2024/08/31/cli…

@lugaricano We've been keeping an eye on PFAS contamination in our food system since last year when we went to Maine to talk to farmers who have been impacted by these "forever chemicals." Listen to our podcast episode to hear more: foodprint.org/what-youre-eat…

Heavily concentrated sewage sludge (with heavy concentration of “forever chemicals” linked to cancer, birth defects etc.) used as fertiliser on millions of acres for decades in the US, reaching the food chain. nytimes.com/2024/08/31/cli…

@Gothamist Cutting municipal composting is one huge step back in reducing food waste and methane emissions. Learn more about the current state of composting in NYC and beyond: foodprint.org/blog/municipal…

GrowNYC, which runs composting programs around the city, has faced threats to its operations since late last year, when Adams required the sanitation department to reduce its spending by 5%, including $3 million in cuts to the composting locations. bit.ly/3V0ALQT

@melton4iowa Alarming indeed. Hear more of Fred Stone's and Adam Nordell's stories in episode 16 of #WhatYoureEating: foodprint.org/what-youre-eat…

Wow, this is alarming. The video refers to the use of sewer sludge bio solids as fertilizer and how they’ve now contaminated a number of farms with PFAS (“forever chemicals”). The EPA is working on regulations but so far only Maine bans its use. cnn.com/2024/05/02/us/…

@eilperin @EPA @maxinejoselow @brady_dennis This is a huge step in ensuring our water, food and environment is PFAS-free. Listen to our podcast episode about PFAS to learn more: foodprint.org/what-youre-eat…

BREAKING: @EPA just moved to force polluters to clean up two of the most pervasive forms of PFAS, otherwise known as “forever chemicals,” designating them as hazardous substances under the nation’s Superfund law. By @maxinejoselow and @brady_dennis washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

@LauraRabinow “It’s long past time for the polluters who poisoned all of us to be held responsible,” says Ken Cook (@EWGPrez), president of @EWG. Check out our report on PFAS to learn more about these "forever chemicals": foodprint.org/reports/the-fo…

Further federal regulation of #PFAS announced this morning! "EPA will make polluters pay to clean up two 'Forever Chemicals'." nytimes.com/2024/04/19/cli…

@PlasticsBeyond @nytimes @stavernise For more information on how PFAS ends up in well water, on farms, in food and ultimately in people’s bodies, listen to episode 16 of #WhatYoureEating: foodprint.org/what-youre-eat…

The #PFAS news is the topic of today’s The Daily @nytimes @stavernise #BreakFreeFromPlastic open.spotify.com/episode/36WYbZ…

@MariahCBlake These federal standards are a huge first step in addressing the PFAS crisis in our water and environment. Learn more by reading “The FoodPrint of PFAS”: foodprint.org/reports/the-fo…

Big news! In a long overdue step, the EPA just set binding caps for six forever chemicals in drinking water. The limits for the two most notorious, PFOA and PFOS, are 4 parts per trillion each, the lowest level that can be reliably detected. 1/ apnews.com/article/foreve…
