If there's a harmful chemical in a product, the EU bans it. Period. In the United States, no such thing is done unless there is extensive, years long study with one-hundred percent certainty that someone's sickness was caused by that product (spoiler alert: that means never). Why is the U.S. a dumping ground for these harmful chemicals? Lobbyists. While I disagree with Schapiro's views on GMOs, this book is far too important to not recommend.

Suet624 Ugh. I‘m just so disgusted. Crappy chemicals in our food supply and non-existent health insurance once the chemicals do their damage. Everyone makes a profit off of us, even the chemo companies. 4y

So happy I finally got around to reading this book. It is such a classic in the environmental field and one of the leading reasons for the US EPA and the ban on DDT. My favorite part was probably listening to the latest scientific breakthroughs in nonchemical spray based insect control for the time. So good and loved the detailed sketches for each chapter page!
