Echoes of Silent Spring and Rachel Carson...

This one has to make you think. Years and years ago, Rachel Carson wrote a book called Silent Spring warning of the imminent danger pesticides were to humans and the environment. Regulation of pesticides were increased thanks to her and other's efforts but looks like the threats she talked about may still be with us although in different form, at least as far as pesticides go.

This report on insecticides being the real culprit in obesity related type II is pretty alarming.

Makes you wonder...
