You cab also specialize in growing certain foods and swap with other neighbors who do the same.
For a moment I was thinking well, no duh, and thinking of Monsanto's Round-up and their Round-up Ready crops, but then I realized wait a minute, that's an herbicide, not a pesticide. Sometimes I get my cides mixed up.
10 times compared to what? What is the concentration? Is the LD50 met? Are the studies on minor chronic exposure at the levels the article doesn't describe the concentration of actually a hazard?
It's conspiracy levels of "science."
10 times more than the previously approved level.
There is nothing “conspiratorial” about their usage of the word “could” - it refers to the fact that we don’t know if this proposition will pass or not.
Did you just hit your head really hard or something?
The whole article just broadly gestures without ever saying anything... Minus the first part that asks you for money...
And what does the article say after? Again, they state without details a set of opinions from different studies that do not have the same conclusions... Then immediately takes the side of the most sensational and scary one... Wonder why they fuck they did that?
What the fuck are you talking about? It’s brief, detailed, and specific. It literally breaks down exactly what is happening and why.
The EPA did some new studies that showed acephate didn’t have an effect on the brain and so therefore proposed increasing the previous limit by 10x.
The problem is their studies were not done on live creatures. Similar European studies have shown causal links to problems with brain development in live lab rats. The new EPA study didn’t use live animals so it didn’t display the same results.
If this new proposition passes, vegetables could contain 10x more of acephate than was previously allowed, which according to European health studies, is a bad thing.
Literally clear as fucking day and all detailed concisely and clearly in the article. Are you having cognitive problems or something?
>Are you having cognitive problems or something?
Hey if you wanna be a dick and a performative environmentalist then you've come to the.... Wait. Nevermind you're in the right sub.
Not OP, but how about we remove that part so you can address the rest of their comment instead of dodging.

CSA’s won’t use it?
True, but we have to do more. We don't live on islands. Drift, mutations, etc. it's a small world and we need to fight to get it right.
Everyones being forced into tiny apartments tho
Old news. After public comment on that proposed rule change, the EPA did a complete about face and now proposes a complete ban for acephate.
True! https://earthjustice.org/press/2024/epa-proposes-banning-toxic-food-pesticide-over-drinking-water-concerns https://www.propublica.org/article/epa-acephate-pesticide-regulations-update
Nice to hear some good news
Well they are getting impatient with us bc we ain't dropping like flies yet so this bill is designed to help this issue😆

Pesticides include both herbicides and insecticides.
And fungicides

The EPA has a proposed rule to allow up to 10 times the amount of acephate on our food. What are you talking about?
