🚨 Piggy Sooy? USDA Approves Plan to Genetically Modify Soybeans to Produce ‘Plant-Grown’ Pig Protein

This product is particularly concerning, because “Until now most GM foods fed to humans have been a minor ingredient within a product, whereas here the GM ingredient will be the primary ingredient. So people who eat it will eat much larger amounts of GM foods than they’ve eaten in the past.” — John Fagan, Ph.D., Health Research Institute

‘Chemical Cocktail’ From Car Tires Linked to Fish Kills, Human Health Concerns

A car's tires can emit up to a trillion ultrafine particles per kilometer, according to testing by Emissions Analytics. Many of the particles from this “chemical cocktail” include heavy metals and the toxic chemical 6PPD, which can harm aquatic life and human health, particularly for those living or working along roadways.
