Is everyone in America just screwed now? We're all going to get cancer?
They're going to be dumping toxic pfa pesticides and herbicides on crops across all of America. If you eat corn, wheat, soybeans, peas, broccoli, kale, coffee, and probably literally anything, you'll be eating it.
Is there really nothing that can be done about this? If you want to eat food and not starve to death, you'll be eating it? Organic doesn't work because these farms are next to non organic ones and the spraying drifts over. And it gets into the ground and the water too. So if you drink water you'll be drinking it.
So are we all just doomed? Move to another country or you're gonna get horribly sick and die of cancer? I don't want to get cancer.
Even if another president happens it will be too late, it will already be in the ground and all the crops and in us and I doubt another president would even undo this, or even could seeing how the supreme court is fully in favor of it.
What can we do?

thehill.comShould I get a water filter?
Hello,
Looking for advice for my water quality in my town and whether I should invest in a RO system or other purifying solution. https://wtmua.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2026-Washingon-Twp-CCR.pdf
Above is the link and my biggest concern is PFAs/PFOs, I have a refrigerator filter that has NSF/ANSI 53, 42, 372, and 401 certifications (53 being for 96.5% of PFAs/PFOs being removed). My question is if this water filtration is enough and if I should be concerned with the sink water (use to cook with) and should invest in RO system?

Unfortunately, not something to get excited about. Our attorney general still has pending litigation and hopefully this does not interfere.

phys.orgChemical Companies Are Churning Out New PFAS. Where in the World Are They Ending Up?
eos.orgIs there an Open Source Project for Tracking PFAS in Food?
"Organic" labels are big ag bribes is basically what I'm hearing.
Is there any group out there collecting and presenting data on which companies grow which brands, and which are actuality "safe" to each? What chemicals are used, etc? Feels like someone somewhere with data hoarding tendencies has this locked down.
PFAS free air fryer with glass basket
So I’ve been looking for a new air fryer for a while now, one with less plastic and PFAS/PFOA free, and non toxic, and with a glass basket. Now that prime day is here and the costs are a little cheap has anyone tried any of these air fryers? Pros and cons which would you choose? Has it lasted a long time with no issues? Also I would change out the nonstick crisper plate for a stainless steel one.
Prefer basket style over having to remove the top lid (as in the regular Ninja Crispi). TIA!

Comment period is live to stop Trump from allowing more forever chemicals into our drinking water
Some of the greatest accomplishments of the Biden Administration were in getting clean, safe water for America’s families. The chemical industry was not happy, and with many of its employees now in leadership positions in the administration their work is being torn up.
The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed unraveling key protections against unsafe levels of four types of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS or “forever chemicals,” in drinking water. It also allows water systems to delay compliance with standards for two more. These new rules are a handout to polluters disguised as public protection and if implemented would threaten the health of more than 100 million Americans.
These rules are currently open for public comment on the Federal Register through July 20th. 📝 Let’s make our voices heard against this giveaway to polluters and for safe drinking water. We can submit our comments here, find guidance on how to write an effective public comment here, and find talking points and sample language to use from the Plastic Pollution Coalition here, from the National Resources Defense Council here, from Food & Water Watch here, from Earthjustice here and from the EPA itself here and here. 📝
🎤 There will also be a virtual public hearing on this proposal on July 7th, where the public will be able to provide verbal comments. We can register to attend and comment by July 1st here. 🎤
