I Hate Dow / Monsanto Co.

One of my favorite

Companies

to hate,

just got a real setback by the

U.S. Court Of Appeals,

when they ordered a ban on

Chlorpyrifos.

Court Orders EPA To Ban Chlorpyrifos, A Pesticide Linked To Brain Damage In Kids 

By Chris D'Angelo for MSN.com/News

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to ban a widely used pesticide that’s been linked to learning disabilities in children. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled in a 2-to-1 decision that the EPA offered “no defense” of its decision to delay a ban on chlorpyrifos ― a move the court said violated the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The law governs pesticides and requires the EPA to ban chemicals from being used on food if they are proven to cause harm.
Chlorpyrifos, produced by Dow Chemical Co. and commonly known by its trade name Lorsban, is used in nearly 100 countries on more than 50 different crops. It was largely banned in 2000 for at-home use in the U.S. but continues to be widely used on thousands of American farms.

Isn't that great.

The chemical is

"Linked To Learning Disabilities In Children,"

but do you think that the

Dow Chemical Co.

would take it off the market voluntarily?

No,

of course not.

What's a few million children having

Brain Damage Worldwide,

compared to the huge profits they rake in every year?

 Besides,

I'm sure the

Big Shots

at

Dow

or

Monsanto 

only eat high priced organic products,

from their private farms,

where they know their children won't consume

 Chlorpyrifos!
