Product Information
When you order a meal in a restaurant, you won't find malathion , kelthane or arsenic listed on the menu as an ingredient of your entr e, but these and scores of other pesticides and dangerous chemicals are in the food we eat. They are dumped into the environment where they seep into our water supply and float in the air we breathe.
