Even our food is banned in many countries. I remember hearing of a pesticide recently being the prime aggressor of alzheimers and then I saw an unrelated article in which a group tried to get it banned. The fdc refused to ban it lol
So even our food isn't all good.

The herbicide known as 2,4D is banned in Canada, as is 2,4,5T which is more commonly known as 'Agent Orange' which was used to defoliate trees in the jungle during the Vietnam War.
Those two chemicals are made in Texas and are then shipped to Mexico who use those two chemicals for weed control in vegetable and fruit crops.
Those crops then end up getting imported into the USA because the FDC say it's okay to import those fruits and vegetables from Mexico which have been in close contact with 2,4D and 2,4,5T but it's illegal to use those chemicals to control weeds in the USA.
The bottom line is, do not buy fruits or vegetables that are grown in Mexico, nor any off-season fruits or vegetables that are sold as 'Produce of the USA' that are found on American shelves. This is because they would have come from Mexico and been repackaged if they're being sold off-season.
