"Chlormequat was not allowed on oats sold in the U.S. before 2018, when the Trump-[era] EPA gave first-time approval for some amount of the chemical on imported oats. The same administration in 2020 increased the allowable level," the report explains. "These regulatory changes might help explain why we're seeing more frequent, higher detections of the chemical in Americans tested."

Wow. Nice work Trumpers.

Food And Drug Act needs an overhaul.

There's just too many chemicals in everything now.

LMAO that's hilarious.

Just who do you think runs the FDA? Hint: most sit/have sat on boards of the largest corporations.

Go get you another booster from the three-letter agency who told you it's safe and effective.

Yes. New Rulz

According to maga maroons ...

The vaccine Trumpy developed via operation warp speed is now completely unsafe.

However, ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine (Trumpy called it a miracle drug for COVID-19,) are still safe and effective against Covid.

Because Fat Bastard said so.

And Biden's EPA doubles down, proposing use on US crops

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed a rule in 2023 that would allow the pesticide to be applied to barley, oat, triticale, and wheat crops.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed to register new uses for the pesticide chlormequat chloride on food crops. Before registering new uses, EPA must establish tolerances in or on barley, oat, triticale, and wheat.

If finalized, the decision would mark the first-ever approval for using chlormequat chloride on U.S. food.

Also, we did ban the drugs you smoke on a daily basis, but that didn't work.

Uh huh.

Turns out that "practical" is an important aspect of the law that Deplorables don't think about until it's their daughter who needs an abortion, or their mentally ill son who needs a firearm.
