Is this a surprise to you? I'm genuinely asking.

Your impassionate 'well no **** this is happening' is rather concerning.

Your paternalism is also cute. I have been involved in helping foster advocacy for indigenous tribes within my province that have elevated rates of diseases like autoimmune disorders and cancers from water-table contamination via the oil sands. So I think I have an idea. This doesn't make it any less infuriating.
 
I was in the monitoring well business for a couple of years. Really surprising what used to just be dumped as liquid waste and would then find its way into the water table. At one site in northern CA, some of this toxic waste was allowed to run off not too far from a public water source.
 
I know a guy who does a presentation on foods and how to grow a healthy garden. It is really eye opening to see the information he has. He talks a lot about how the consumer food market is owned by certain companies who don't care how nutrient deficient a crop is, or how their chemicals are affecting the consumers. Interesting stuff.

yup, all you need is a little more oil that burns at a higher heat. Like coconut oil or something.

Unfortunately, most Americans think fats are unhealthy due to basically the American government ****ing up, and asking their citizens to increase carb intake and reduce fat intake to stave off rises in obesity between the 50s and 70s. We all see how well that worked.

I think you're misinterpreting my tone here. No biggie.

That doesn't necessarily mean that all/any of their other products are contaminated though. I'm still reading the article, but it concerns the cover up of the health risks of an industrial additive called c8, which I don't think they still use.
 
This is a good thread. Thanks, Dala.
I love hearing from folks that are truly passionate about something while having no agenda for being so.
I applaud.

I love this. Growing food yourself is a real passion of mine. I really wish more people would do it. It's a very worthwhile thing to occupy your time with. Saves money as well as good for your physical and mental health.
