Nobody voted for this. Nobody asked for this. And yet here it is.
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are chemicals that don’t break down, stay in your body for decades, and have been tied to kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease, fertility problems, developmental issues in children, immune suppression, and birth defects. These aren’t conspiracy theories. These are findings from Harvard, the National Institutes of Health, the Environmental Working Group, and even the CDC.
So what did the EPA do last week?
They approved two new pesticides that qualify as PFAS.
Meaning these forever chemicals can be sprayed on crops like romaine lettuce, broccoli, potatoes — the exact foods families buy every single week.
And it doesn’t stop there.
The Washington Post is reporting that the EPA is preparing to approve four more, bringing the total to six PFAS pesticides heading straight into America’s food chain.
Six. Pesticides. Classified as PFAS.
And the EPA’s official line?
They’ll provide “transparent, science-based information.”
Translation: They approved it first and will explain it later.
Let’s be honest. How many times have we heard this exact government formula?
Same agencies that said smoking was safe.
Same agencies that said asbestos was safe.
Same agencies that said lead paint was fine.
Same agencies that swore PFAS in firefighting foam was harmless — until the lawsuits started exploding.
Now they want you to trust them again as they green-light chemicals that stay inside the human body permanently.
The scientific community already knows the basics:
PFAS accumulate in blood, pass through the placenta, contaminate breast milk, and spread through soil and groundwater. Farmers have already watched PFAS ruin entire fields in states like Maine, Michigan, and Wisconsin because the chemicals never go away.
And now the EPA wants to spray them directly onto dinner.
The most messed-up part?
The agency admits that “not much is known” about the long-term impact of these new PFAS pesticides. When a federal agency admits it doesn’t know the risks — that means the risks are probably worse than they’re willing to say.
So let’s call it what it is:
This is not “science based.”
This is not “transparent.”
This is the government putting chemical companies ahead of American families — again.
And the media? Silent.
Congress? Distracted.
Lobbyists? Celebrating.
Meanwhile millions of Americans will eat this stuff without ever knowing the truth.
If you care about food safety, bodily autonomy, or basic common sense, this should set off alarms everywhere. Because once these chemicals go into the soil, into the water, into the crops, and into your bloodstream — there is no undo button.
This is the kind of thing people should be screaming about, yet the only ones paying attention are scientists, a few independent journalists, and the people already living with PFAS poisoning because nobody listened the first time.
Stay alert. They’re hoping nobody notices.
