Contamination of our food supply

[Son of Mathonwy]

It seems that water companies take payment for adding chemical chemical and other waste (including polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, furans, phthalates, forever chemicals, antibiotics, huge quantities of microplastic and many other compounds) to their sewage plants and then sell the sludge produced as cheap fertilizer to farmers. We eat plants and animals grown or raised on such land. The impact on our health is unknown. This was documented in a 2017 Environment Agency report which was kept secret till Greenpeace discovered it, but the government has done nothing about the problem to date.

The watery stuff in the rivers, the sludgy stuff to the farms, it's a joined up strategy.
