    " . . . The quality of the fruits and vegetables available at grocery stores is terrible. Most are laden with toxic substances, such as sulfates on grapes, pesticides . . . many times fruits and vegetables are imported from foreign countries that use toxic pesticides that are illegal in the United States."

Most Toxic Town in America – Picher, Oklahoma

September 11th, 2009 - Gerald "Gerry" Pugliese

PICHER

I live in New Jersey. So I just assumed it was somewhere around here. It isn’t. Picher, Oklahoma has the displeasure of being the most toxic town in the United States. Its polluted from years of lead mining. The water actually runs orange.

The government is paying residents to move out. For years, locals have endured a variety of health problems, such as birth defects, deafness and cancer. But who do you blame? People who tried to eek out a living in back in the day? It’s a toughie.
