A federal court overturned the EPA’s ban on the neurotoxic pesticide chlorpyrifos. Chlorpyrifos is in the organophosphates class of chemicals and was developed for chemical warfare. Research shows that even small quantities of chlorpyrifos and organophosphates can cause permanent damage to the brains of children including reduced IQ, ADD, and loss of working memory. In adults, chlorpyrifos can damage the nervous system and can cause mild or severe systems based on the exposure levels. In 2021, the EPA banned all uses of Chlorpyrifos in food crops. However, a group of beet, sugar, soy, wheat, cherry, fruit, cotton, and vegetable organizations as well as Gharda Chemicals International and CropLife America filed a lawsuit against the EPA’s ban.

(215) 968-9474 A federal appeals court recently ruled that the EPA didn’t thoroughly consider whether there are any safe applications for chlorpyrifos. On December 19, 2023, the EPA announced that it would allow tolerances for use of chlorpyrifos for 11 food and feed crops. These crops include alfalfa, apple, asparagus, cherry (tart), citrus, cotton, peach, soybean, strawberry, sugar beet, wheat (spring), and wheat (winter). #pesticide#pesticides#health#chemicals#farm#farming#garden#brain#epa#toxic#insecticides#organophosphates#sugar#apple#asparagus#cherry#citrus#soy#strawberry#poison#wheat#alfalfa#environment#corruption#courtoriginal sound

Ancient watermelons were likely yellow and orange, not red. Byzantine mosaics plus paintings and seeds found in Egyptians tombs help researches uncover the origins of the modern watermelon. Yellow watermelons date back 5,000 years and were grown in northern and Southern Africa. Yellow watermelons have more beta carotene while red watermelons have more lycopene. Yellow watermelons also have a more honey sweet flavor. I carry heirloom yellow crimson and tendersweet orange watermelon seeds as well red watermelon varieties. The watermelon seeds are open pollinated and will breed true to type. #watermelon #melon #yellowmelon #yellowwatermelon #orangemelon #watermelons #fruit #seeds #seed #history #health #redmelon #egyptians #antioxidant

The E Coli organic carrot outbreak stemmed from Grimmway Farms. Grimmway Farms and Bolthouse farms have a duopoly on carrot supply. Grimmway Farms is owned by a private equity firm and is suing Cuyama valley residents in Southern California over water rights. There are contaminated carrots recalled under Whole Foods, Grimmway Farms, Trader Joe’s, Cal-Organic, Bunny Luv, Target, and Wegman carrot labels to name a few. You can join the boycott of Grimmway and Bolthouse Farms. You can support local farms and grow your own heirloom carrot seeds instead. #recall #carrotrecall #carrot #ecoli #organic #grimmway #bolthouse #water #cleanwater #lawsuit #carrots #health #boycott #contamination #california #fda
