Stop Pesticides In Our Childrens Food - You Can Make The Difference
Posted on Apr 11, 2013 by Maggie LaBarbera
There are so many reasons that we need to reach out to Congress about important legislature. But the farm bill is the key bill that will affect the food that we eat, and more importantly, our children will eat.
Sign this Petition To Fight Pesticides In Our Food.
Pesticides Harm Our Children
This is from the EPA.gov website:
-
"The health effects of pesticides depend on the type of pesticide.
-
Some, such as the organophosphates and carbamates, affect the nervous system.
-
Others may irritate the skin or eyes.
-
Some pesticides may be carcinogens.
-
Others may affect the hormone or endocrine system in the body"
We can make a difference.
One signature at a time. Please join over 8500 people who have already signed this petition.
It is not just about us. It is about the health and well-being of our children. They deserve better than foods laced with pesticides. I hope that you will join us.
