STRAWBERRY-TUMOR SHORTCAKE

Methyl Iodide is a gas who's cancer-causing ingredients are so powerful that scientists inject it into laboratory rats for medical studies because it so reliably grows tumors.

I am amazed (and quite nervous) that Methyl Iodide is still being considered by Sacramento for use as a pesticide on Strawberries.

I read about this on SFGATE. Please follow the links provided because the state is accepting public comments until June 14th.

  4. "Accepting public comments" will provide as much return as Bernie Madoff. Putting up with listening to the public's input means they do just that. Only that. Means nothing. (Hell, look at the FCC and their public forums.. while memos reveal they've already decided things BEFORE the public forums. Government.. Pff!)
