This is laughable. I understand that most of you don't like Republicans, corporations, and chemical companies, but Ms. Rice was removed from the panel because her participation on it was a clear violation of the EPA's conflict of interest rules. Apparently you people think that those rules should only apply to bad people and entities (i.e., Republicans, corporations, and chemical companies), but not to those virtuous environmental advocates.report abusedoswell

The dishonest managements of some large chemical conglomerates will do everything possible to sneak their toxic but highly profitable chemicals into the bodies of women, men, children, and even unborn babies!

i agree totally, dr.Deborah Rice,scientist. is a hero. i'm tired of turning around all,,,,the time,and hearing things being pulled from the shelves because they are deadly. what can we trust in our food supplies anymore. and now real science tells us not to use this product,she gets fired???? money over safety. they seem to think we,in maine, are a third world country,just for profit. i pray that our congress will please listen to proven science. and mr baldacchi,should pay more attention.
