Chemical regulator captured by industry interests while Australia is soaked in pesticides?
"Concerningly, the review found serious allegations of chemical industry capture of the APVMA, which appears to have played a key role in the organisation not performing its full regulatory responsibilities...The board chair and CEO of Australia's chemical regulator have resigned, as a damning report finds the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) was "captured" by industry interests and subject to regular complaints of misconduct. The APVMA was also found to have "embedded" industry interests into its regulatory priorities and culture"
"Of the 10 ongoing chemical reviews, eight have been in progress for over 15 years or more, with seven ongoing for nearly 20 years”

"Pesticides can cause serious harm to the health of our environment, and pose a deadly threat to wildlife," and companies that make them must be "honest" with consumers about the dangers..."
"The settlement requires Bayer to stop advertising glyphosate-based Roundup as a safe and non-toxic product."
"The $6.9 million will be spent on reducing the impact of pesticides on pollinators and aquatic species."

This is a honey bee. The pollen on her legs is from dandelions. Her tongue is sticking out due to what killed her that was on the dandelions.
It’s spring, dandelions are the bees first food. This bee is dead from weed killer spread on what we see as weeds, but what nature sees as food. Please don’t spray for weeds until you see the blackberries blooming. In this area, weeds, flowers and fruit trees are bees only source of food until middle of June. There are FAR more weeds than flowers or fruit trees, so it's their only food source. No bees, no food crops for us and we all starve. #bee #honeybee #weedkiller

Yes. More re #allergies…
The #herbicides they spray #soy with also. They put that soy in everything, including #animalFeed.
Farmers are known to use the toxic #weedkiller known as #glyphosate to speed up the drying process for #coffee (see #nescafe)/wheat. We posit this is a reason for the #glutanFree epidemic (not the #wheat itself).
#Pollution in fish. The bigger the fish, the more #murcury.
Also, kids today are born with #microplastics in them.

Well #Trump's #EPA have announced they would be supporting #Bayer in the #RoundUp appeal, asking the courts to overturn this year's $25 million ruling to the man who got #cancer from the #Monsanto #weedkiller.
> The EPA maintains—to the outrage of environmental and public health groups—that #glyphosate is not a #carcinogen.
Christmas Eve - the ultimate #takeOutTheTrashDay.
