President Donald Trump’s environmental regulators are advancing a proposal to block states from warning consumers about herbicides and other agricultural products in their food, according to federal documents reviewed by The Lever. Among the substances that could now go undisclosed is a widely used chemical that some studies have linked to cancer and that Trump’s own health secretary has called a “poison.”
Last month, Trump issued an executive order mandating agencies “fully address the growing health crisis in America.” But the initiative from Republican attorneys general — which would usurp state labeling authority — is now being moved forward by Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency. The measure would declare that any label citing scientific findings not acknowledged by Trump’s EPA would “constitute misbranding.”
Zeldin, quite apart from his sorrupt and dubious donors was a lousy representative for eastern Long Island. Even from the days of Long Island being a hot spot for Breast Cancer, residents have worried about agricultural chemicals winding up in our fragile fresh water supplies. Zeldin seems to have ignored the concerns. Makes him the perfect czar for EPA wreckers in Washington where toxic brains hold sway.
