It's a real eye-opener. I would like to add this <a href="http://www.chronwatch.com/content/contentDisplay.asp?aid=23873&catcode=13" rel="nofollow">quote</a> from CORE international director Cyril Boynes, Jr.: “European Commission President Barroso has clearly said no food or other exports would be affected, unless they have DDT residues above prescribed limits. That is extremely unlikely under the WHO programs and, if it ever does happen, only that specific shipment would be affected.” Ethan, thank you for this article. It’s a real eye-opener.
