Atrazine, an herbicide banned in Europe but legal in the U.S., can turn frogs into hermaphrodites at allowed concentrations. The chemical contaminates American tap water, but structural problems in governance and pharmaceutical-chemical company overlap prevent policy change.
Atrazine. That's allowed in the US, but not in Europe. It makes frogs into hermaphrodites at levels that are allowable. I wouldn't drink American tap water if I were you.
Now, do you see change.
Happening here in the us?
Yeah. Are there any talks at the government level about changing American policy and following more of the regulations that are established here in Europe?
Well, in the us, the most important policies we have are that the drug companies need to make more money, and the drug companies and the chemical companies actually come from the same roots because the drugs are made out of chemicals and they have the same. Same owners. So in the us, no. Right now, until we fix some structural problems in governance, I don't really see how the US is going to fix this. What they're doing is they're saying, worry about carbon capture. Meanwhile, we're going to saturate you with chemicals that mean you won't be alive or your kids won't be alive by the time carbon becomes a real problem.
