Scott Pruitt in Healing the Soul of America

On Environment: Reversed Obama's ban on pesticide chlorpyrifos

Genetically modified food and dangerous pesticides pose additional dangers as well. A well-known case in point is that after meeting with Dow Chemical lobbyists, Mr. Pruitt reversed President Obama's previous ban on the pesticide chlorpyrifos, which EPA scientists had declared unsafe under any circumstances due to known harm to children's brains. Under Pruitt's direction, advocating for your health and mine, as well as the health of our children and our planet, has become secondary to advocating for the financial interests of American business.
