" . . . 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."

Water Violations on the Rise – No Money to Fix It

September 15th, 2009 - Gerald "Gerry" Pugliese

MOTHERNATURECARTOON

That cartoon isn’t just a coincidence, especially the part about the polluted water. Turns out, clean water violations are on the rise across the United States, with 10% of Americans being exposed to unhealthy drinking water. The culprit is agriculture and industrial practices and poor enforcement of regulations.

It all comes down to money. The Environmental Protection Agency recognizes the problem, saying today’s water does not meet public health goals and enforcement is unacceptably low, but state officials are handcuffed by lack of funding. So in the meantime millions of people are unknowingly ingesting toxins.
