This is sickening. How this could occur in 2016 needs to be studied and eliminated with prejudice. To think that government officials look at that orange water and think that's normal. It reminds of the Monsanto lobbyist that claimed that RoundUp is perfectly safe to drink, but then instantly refused to drink it when offered. I wish there was a special place in hell for people like that.

- ceejayoz 11y agoThere are plenty of things that are safe to eat/drink that I wouldn't personally eat/drink. Hell, I order my pizzas without tomato sauce. I'm not versed on RoundUp's safety, so I'll leave that for others to discuss. I'm just saying that sort of stunt doesn't provide any evidence in either direction. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Midgley,_Jr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Midgley,_Jr. > On October 30, 1924, Midgley participated in a press conference to demonstrate the apparent safety of TEL. In this demonstration, he poured TEL over his hands, then placed a bottle of the chemical under his nose and inhaled its vapor for sixty seconds, declaring that he could do this every day without succumbing to any problems whatsoever. However, the State of New Jersey ordered the Bayway plant to be closed a few days later, and Jersey Standard was forbidden to manufacture TEL there again without state permission. Midgley would later have to take leave of absence from work after being diagnosed with lead poisoning.
