Toxic sprays are a political issue - Thursday, January 5, 2006 By E.G. VALLIANATOS - GUEST COLUMNIST. After a 1998-2003 moratorium on testing pesticides on humans, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is about to legalize the abhorrent
practice. One can probably tolerate human testing for medicines, but why should a civilized society test farm sprays on humans?
Most of these poisons came to agriculture straight from World War II. That fact ought to have been sufficient to ban them, thus avoiding the threat of the contamination of food and drinking water. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/254457_epa05.html
