Fruits & vegetables likely account for a majority of people's dietary microplastic and PFAS intake. What’s frustrating is that this isn’t something you can just rinse off. In many cases, the contamination appears to be taken up into the food itself. Organic may reduce some of that exposure, but even organic farms can be affected when they’re near contaminated land or water. Should you stop eating produce? No. We should be much more upset about how widespread these chemicals have become, especially when children are being exposed through foods we otherwise consider healthy. One practical thing I think is worth considering is beta-glucan. There’s some evidence it may help support the excretion of PFAS, and given how unavoidable these exposures are becoming, that may be a useful tool, especially for families who can’t realistically eliminate every source.

I wish this was fake but residents near Driscoll’s berry farms report a 38% higher incidence of childhood cancer. Santa Cruz County is the heart of California's $3B strawberry industry and home to Driscoll's world headquarters. Coincidentally, it also has the second-highest childhood cancer rate of any county in California. At 22.5 childhood cancers per 100,000 children, the rate is more than 38% above the statewide average of 16.3. Over 5,060 acres of pesticides linked to those same cancers are sprayed in the Pajaro Valley every year to grow 40% of California's strawberries. Worst of all, it’s often next to schools and homes where children spend most of their time. According to the latest data, over 2,000,000 pounds of pesticides were applied just in this school district’s area alone. Driscoll’s is reported to apply two together: 1. 1,3-D: fumigant used to sterilize the soil, officially listed by the state as a carcinogen, causes tumors in multiple animal studies 2. Chloropicrin: originally deployed as a chemical weapon in World War I, so toxic that it kills or disables test animals before scientists can even evaluate its long-term carcinogenicity But yeah it’s probably just a coincidence all the kids are getting cancer? This is why you need to be buying local and seasonal fruit. Do not trust major corporations to do the right thing for our food or health.

Kevin O'Leary's massive data center was approved by a county commission in Utah last night. At 40,000 acres, it would be 2.5x the size of Manhattan. The commission approved the proposal despite opposition from hundreds of locals.

@kevinolearytv The people of Utah don't want the data center. Why is it that a Canadian can buy up 40,000 acres in Utah against the will of the people to build a data center that nobody wants?

@MorePerfectUS It's just mind-boggling that a person who isn't even American can purchase 40,000 acres in Utah, and build a data center against the will of the American people.

BREAKING: The House just voted to remove the pesticide provisions from the farm bill that would have protected Bayer from lawsuits over cancer-causing glysophate in Roundup. The amendment passed 280-142.

🔥The Farm Bill that includes my 🥩 PRIME Act pilot just passed the House! This is a game changer for farmers — and provides access to locally raised beef, pork, and lamb for consumers! We also stripped the immunity/state labeling ban for pesticides from the Farm Bill. MAHA!
