“There is a breadth of information available on the potential adverse neurodevelopmental effects in infants and children as a result of prenatal exposure to chlorpyrifos.”

So that explains Trump’s adult children.

It all makes sense now…

We have actionable studies showing the tremendous economic benefits from these chemicals for both agricultural and chemical industry representatives. How can you make that kind of economic argument for kids? They haven’t even grown up, so you can’t say a lifetime of impaired brain activity will adversely effect their future economic potential! It might actually improve kids chances in society, as it’s shown most kids who become fully educated functioning members of our society will refuse the paying jobs that require workers to have chemicals sprayed on them.

I also love that CONSUMERS need to PROVE harm from a substance that kills most other living things before we perhaps consider removing it from the market. How about we study first and unleash it upon the people second?

This is good now Pruitt will have to expose the science he used to lift the ban. He is evil.

Well more like, he will try to make up some things to use as a excuse for why he did it, and then be called out for trying to make up things after the fact.

All science means to these guys is if it is in the way it does not count.

It is the free market way according to some of these folks. One of the choices to lead the FDA actually wanted to take an approach akin to that. Do some testing but release it and do the rest of it as you go.

I think we underestimate how much these guys hate the government. It can do no right at all at any stage in their minds.
