Re: In the News; EPA to examine Perchlorate

[Guest guest]

So typical. Now it's starting to come out that the levels of fluoride in

But there is a cost if they don't put it in: Fertilizer companies would have to

dispose of it as hazardous waste rather than selling it to cities.

Please excuse my cynicism.

I am beginning to think it IS a conspiracy theory. I mean safe levels? When

does the madness end? I say percholorate cocktails for every member of the

House and Senate - make em doubles. Barb
