Why is it surprising when the FDA allows forever chemical pesticides? The word is right there in the name. They don’t break down. That causes them to accumulate over time. The science is clear now that 3M’s decades long suppression of the science has ended, high concentrations are toxic to humans.

The fact that we still allow these to be directly sprayed on food is insanity.

    The US doesn't realize it yet but US is suiciding itself with PFAS pesticides and PFAS-containing mulch-fertilizer. Organic food works for now to guard against it, if cooked at home, but only for now, because eventually all soil will be substantially contaminated.
