Why the U.S. Government Won’t Protect Us From Toxic Chemicals In Our Food Supply
It’s now February 7th, and there’s still no dioxin assessment. Dioxins are toxic chemicals that have been linked to cancer and other health problems. While the EPA claims it will release its study “as expeditiously as possible,” folks are beginning to wonder whether we’ll ever see it in this lifetime.
The sooner people realize that the EPA doesn’t care about you as a citizen, or even a human being, and is primarily concerned with corporate (i.e. money) interests, the sooner these problems actually get solved.
An independent firm (or several independent firms) should conduct the study and then the government should internalize any potential externalities of the companies producing the toxins. Then repeat until we privatize everything and companies are forced to stop destroying others’ property; public lands are the root problem of environmental degradation and the potentially disastrous effects it has on the health and well-being of all living things.
