Our food continues to be poisoned.
PESTICIDE LIMIT INCREASE
Australian regulators are facing growing scrutiny over a proposal to significantly increase permitted residue limits for the insecticide isocycloseram on several berry crops.
The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) is reviewing changes to maximum residue limits for the chemical, which is used to control insect pests.
The proposed adjustments would allow higher levels of isocycloseram residues on berries, including raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, currants, strawberries, and cranberries.
The plan has attracted attention because of the scale of the increases. Critics have highlighted figures showing that permitted residue levels could rise substantially for some crops, including increases of up to several hundred times current limits for certain berries.
Environmental organisations, health advocates, and concerned consumers have raised objections, arguing that the changes warrant greater scrutiny because isocycloseram is associated with PFAS chemicals.
PFAS compounds have attracted international attention because some are highly persistent in the environment and can remain for long periods.
Opponents of the proposal say regulators should apply a precautionary approach when assessing chemicals with potential persistence concerns. They argue that increasing allowable residues on foods commonly promoted as healthy choices, particularly those eaten by children, requires careful consideration of long-term exposure risks.
Critics have also questioned whether pesticide assessments rely sufficiently on independent scientific research, arguing that greater transparency around evidence and decision-making processes would help maintain public confidence.
The APVMA has defended its assessment process, stating that maximum residue limits are not safety thresholds, but regulatory standards designed to reflect the expected residues resulting from ‘approved pesticide use’.
The authority says food safety assessments consider toxicological data and exposure estimates, with safety margins applied to protect consumers.
While regulators emphasise ‘scientific risk assessments’ and ‘exposure limits’, many members of the public remain concerned about cumulative exposure to chemicals and the environmental consequences of persistent substances.
A key point of disagreement is the difference between hazard and risk.
Critics focus on the potential characteristics of the chemical itself, including concerns about persistence, while regulators focus on the level of exposure consumers are expected to receive through food and whether that exposure remains within safety parameters.
The APVMA’s review comes at a time of increasing public attention on pesticide use, food standards, and the management of chemicals in the environment.
People are sick and tired of being attacked by these greedy bastards.
Fed up with the intergenerational chemical ruining unfolding before our very eyes.
The future of our species has already been forever altered, and they want to make it worse.
How long will Australians put up with this?
THE CHEMICAL ATTACK
Australia has become a biological testing ground for chemical corporations.
Our country continues to use toxic pesticides prohibited in many countries on health and environmental grounds, with double the number of products compared to the U.K.

Australia authorises the use of 144 highly hazardous pesticides, compared with 73 permitted in the UK. This includes the highly poisonous chemical Paraquat, which has been banned in more than 50 countries, including the U.K.
Paraquat is a herbicide that is widely used by farmers to save arduous labour, protect against invasive weeds and produce agronomically important crops like soy, corn, and cotton.
Research has linked it to negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems and it is highly toxic to humans, being linked to chronic diseases like Parkinson’s.
State governments also routinely use dangerous chemicals for ‘environmental weed management’, including the cancer-causing Roundup.

Currently, around 3 million tonnes of agricultural pesticides are used worldwide every year.
Oneinternational study analysed the geographic distribution of 92 of the most commonly used agricultural pesticides and found that approximately 77,000 tonnes of potentially harmful chemicals leach into aquifers each year, impacting ecosystems and resources.

It is a calculated chemical attack.
From industrial chemicals and pesticides in consumer products and the air around us, the dangers that even small quantities of toxic chemicals may cause must be better handled.

The very fact we live in a world where the term ‘organic food’ exists should tell you everything you need to know about the state of affairs humanity finds itself in.
Now, our berries are going to be even more poisonous for consumption – lovely!
The fact that society isn’t up-in-arms in the street over this is the greatest tragedy of all.

We are being duped constantly and poisoned constantly. Always new non-organic berries were a real problem, they always look so nice in the supermarkets but I cannot bring myself to buy them. The safest way to eat them is from your own garden.
No wonder there is so much chronic illness and cancer. I believe most of our maladies are from environmental insults and vaccines. We are poisoning our own nest. This is just pure greed by chemical and big pharma companies with the regulatory bodies bowing down to them because they are either too weak or being funded by the same. They are killing us slowly bit by bit.
There is just SO much to be up in arms about in this world, take your pick!!! It is relentless and endless…
Our food supply is obviously incredibly important and these crimes must be brought to everyone’s attention.
Unfortunately people are tired, time-poor, overwhelmed, busy, deliberately distracted, struggling and completely over it.
I agree that we all need to be “activists” in our communities and countries, but there is just SO much that we have to protest and fight that it would be a full-time job, 24/7, no breaks, no pay!!!
We all just want to be left alone to live our lives the way we want, in peace, yet THEY will never stop!
It is becoming increasingly more difficult to live happily and healthily in this evil, corrupt world – it’s all too overwhelming, distressing, stressful and depressing = (
Solutions?!!!
Yes it is. It is deliberate attack from The Cabal (Illuminati) see Fallofthecabal (on substack). On the substack there is so much about the history and plans of the cabal. But also she does give hope. Like him or not Trump is trying to bring them down. Time will tell if he is successful.
Thanks Lin, I’ve watched the Fall of the Cabal series – a real eye-opener!
I don’t trust Trump or any govt, it’s all theatre for the masses, bread & circuses!
All the best.
Yes, Nicole, it is very tiring and there is so much info out there I just can’t keep up. I am intending to concentrate on more Australian content as all the US stuff is just too much. We need to act on the local level as going after the big guys in Government falls on deaf ears. Locally we may have more of a voice and support from the ground up. Those at the top won’t want to change, they’re on too good a wicket.
I agree Jan, you’re exactly right and it’s the best approach.
Like you, I can’t keep up – it’s utterly exhausting, infuriating, futile and overwhelming and it consumes just too much of our energy.
When we’re always focused on everything that is wrong in this world and all that needs fixing, it leaves no time left for living the life that we truly want to live. I’m so done.
Wishing you the very best and all of the energy that you need…
