This is an ad for this Relief Bill proposed by Rep. Susan Collins.
Relief for Farmers with PFAS Act
So where's the part of this bill where we sanction companies that irresponsibly create PFAS products and then let the waste into drinking water?
"Relief" is just the government deciding who gets to recover from problems the government didnt protect us from.
Wish there was a super upvote
“If I was shipping milk in Michigan, I’d still be in business,” said Fred Stone, a Maine farmer who euthanized about 80 percent of his dairy cattle herd after finding contamination in 2016.
That is a weird way to say there might also be a problem with the milk....
You're immune system has to work double, sometimes 5x more to get this stuff out of your system. I imagine a whole 4. ppb of this would be like nuking your immune system.
On the bright side, you managed to distill the worst parts of Kemo into meat. That is some pure comic book evil genius right there.
milk cattle are generally not eaten though. beef herds and milk herds are separate.
I watched the first five minutes. It would take a moron to not notice that those cows are sickly. They don’t care and have been feeding them to countless families. Therefore I don’t feel any sympathy towards them
Editing to add: I was angered by what I saw. PFAs are dangerous and I’m not trying to detract from that point.
I grew up in PA and have seen numerous cattle farms, dairy etc.
This one in the video is heinous. Those cows are walking in their own shit. They are sickly. The humans that run that farm are detestable.
Cows deserve to graze on grass and wildflower. This featured ‘farm’ is disgusting. PFAs might have gotten them shut down, but whoever reviewed them isn’t exactly giving bonus points for standard of living.
Look at the way the cows react to him! They don’t want to be touched by him but the non-energetic movement must give a clue that they are not healthy and okay
It's not cow shit. It's tilled land > because they can't allow grass to grow > because the PFAS is in the soil, then in the grass, then in the cattle.
How I know? Because I've worked on a dairy farm and I read the article and watched the video.
Woooosh
Enlighten me
It's not about the cows or the farm, it's about the poison in our food and water supply
Porque no los dos?
