They unwittingly and unwillingly ingest too much of too many dangerous chemicals. If food already contains natural carcinogens, it does not make much sense to add dozens of new man-made ones.

Inspectors get to about a third of the nation's 4,000 seafood-processing plants a year and to some facilities once in three years...

Although the town's cooperative grain elevator still has access to a working railroad spur, weeds surround the tracks. Reason: the Kyle railroad has added a $750- per-car surcharge to the standard rate, forcing the cooperative to haul its grain 17 miles by truck to a main railroad line...
