In this episode, I want to talk about one of the Merchants of Fear, the Center for Food Safety, and some of the latest misinformation and bullshit they're spreading.</p><p><br></p><p>The Center for Food Safety is scaring the public again by insinuating that the US EPA isn't protecting the American public. I'm still extremely annoyed by this. </p><p><br></p><p>So, go read the <a href=\"https://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/press-releases/6856/epa-refuses-to-regulate-risks-of-pesticide-formulations\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">CFS press release</a> where they spread their bs and misinformation. And you can see the US EPA's well-reasoned, and very, extremely thorough <a href=\"https://downloads.regulations.gov/EPA-HQ-OPP-2018-0262-0166/content.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">response </a>to the CFS petition. </p><p><br></p><p>And if you want to follow along in the <a href=\"https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-40/chapter-I/subchapter-E/part-158/subpart-F\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">US Code of Federal Regulations </a>where EPA explicitly states what toxicity tests require end-use product testing.</p><p><br></p><p>Why would CFS put out this nonsense when it's so easy to fact-check? I don't know for sure, but maybe it's because they believe their funders implicitly trust the bs and misinformation they spread.</p>","author_name":"Lyle Burgoon"}
