I waited nervously last week for news on whether the Environmental Protection Agency would actually approve the toxic chemical methyl iodide for applications as a pesticide.
U. S. Government Accountability Office auditors found that, in part because of lax oversight, the USDA doles out more than $1 billion a year to farmers who are dead.
Americans eat almost 9 billion chickens a year, which requires megafarms and giant processing plants. Is there a better way for the birds to meet their end?
