Even though awareness of the ill effects of pesticides is greater than ever and more of us these days are inclined toward organic, toxin-free food, none of that matters to Dow Chemical. One of the largest chemical companies in the world, Dow is chomping at the bit for approval of a new herbicide and genetically engineered seed duo that it has spent years developing. The herbicide includes a chemical called 2,4-D – the same chemical that was used in the notorious chemical weapon called Agent Orange, used by the US in Vietnam and that has been known to cause severe health and reproductive problems. <\/p>\n
