Dear friends,
Apparently using infants to experiment with made-man components in
artificial infant milks and follow-up formulas is no longer enough, now "they" want to
expand the experiments....
I can't help but wonder why low income families are being targeted for this
"research". Could it be due to the fact that they are less likely to file
legal claims?
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced plans to launch an
outrageous new study in which participating low income families will have
their children exposed to toxic pesticides over the course of two years. For
taking part in these studies, each family will receive $970, a free video
camera, a T-shirt, and a framed certificate of appreciation. The study
entitled CHEERS (Children’s Environmental Exposure Research Study) will look
at how chemicals can be ingested, inhaled or absorbed by children ranging
from babies to 3 years old.
Please take a moment to follow this link and join tens of thousands of
citizens in petitioning the EPA to terminate this study prior to its
proposed launch in early 2005.
