In the pesticide industry, a playbook is being uncovered for plans to poison the Earth. They make the landscape toxic to bees, butterflies, birds, and potentially even large mammals. For years, U.S. regulators relied on falsified data provided by Dow Chemical to allow unsafe levels of the chemical chlorpyrifos into American homes, according to a new analysis from University of Washington researchers. Rats fed the genetically modified yeast-derived protein soy leghemoglobin – the burger’s key ingredient – developed unexplained changes in weight gain and signs of toxicity. An age-old tradition suddenly has fresh urgency in the pandemic, delivering surplus produce to Americans who can’t feed their families. Meet the gleaners, combing farm fields to feed the newly hungry. Some “health foods” can really be junk foods in disguise. Unhealthy foods play a primary role in many people gaining weight and developing chronic health conditions, more now than ever before. Surprisingly, people consider some of these foods healthy.
