I was reading a news article from Google news titled “EPA won’t limit toxic pollutant in drinking water” earlier today and I was absolutely outraged that the EPA has decided to take absolutely no action to to rid drinking water of perchlorate. Perchlorate is a toxic rocket fuel ingredient that has fouled public water supplies around the country.

This toxic chemical has been found in 35 states in at least 395 sites. The chemical has been found at levels high enough to pose developmental health risks for fetuses and babies, and interfere with thyroid function.

The contamination of these water supplies is the result of our very own Defense Department’s defense and aerospace activities.

This chemical has been found in groundwater in California and the Southwest, and in the Colorado River. It has also been found in a variety of foods.

I think that the EPA should take action to make the government clean up this mess!

ProfitFuel is a cutting edge leader in today’s marketing companies.  ProfitFuel has been listed in the Inc 500 list as one of fastest growing companies. They specialize in digital marketing and they own three of the largest well known names in marketing today: Clicksmart, the Yahoo! Yellow Pages and MediaMist.  The Clicksmart directory and the Yahoo! Yellow Pages are large companies that utilize the Internet for marketing products and services to the consumer.  MediaMist is a digital signage marketing company that focuses on placing advertisements in shopping malls.  It has been a very long time since I’ve been to a shopping mall, so I haven’t seen what they do there, but I understand that they run commercials at the mall directories and also eye catching holographic displays.

I was reading on the Time.com website this morning that China’s milk scandal has spread to involve twenty two companies out of the one hundred nine milk companies. These companies have been proven to be trading in melamine-tainted milk products. Melamine is the chemical that was put in pet food that was imported to the USA last year from China that killed so many pets.   Melamine, a toxic chemical, makes the food product appear to have more protein in it.

This time the melamine has been added to baby formula and milk, which has poisoned babies. This is a terrible scandal – China has exported milk to several countries (thank goodness not the USA.) I have to wonder what food products we have on our shelves though that have some Chinese milk in the ingredients? I find it abhorrent that anyone would add toxic ingredients to the food chain! I hope that the people responsible for this are severely punished!
