Iowa

They are strictly forbidden to discuss potential causes of the high cancer rates.

When someone said "It's the nitrates in the water from pig and corn farms" the woman said I cannot comment on that.

this is a professional health researcher with the flagship university of the state of Iowa under a gag order when she is supposed to be doing public outreach.

I am sickened every time I think about how this will affect me and my children.

My mother in law has had 4 different types of unreleated cancers -- she has lived near a plastics manufacturer that dumped stuff into groundwater in northwest Ohio, downwind from paper mills in NC, along the ohio river near the WV/PA borders where all the runoff from coal mines and stuff from Pittsburgh down was dumped into the river, and then Indiana.

And now for 13 years -- we have lived in this unregulated cess pool of pig shit -- that really is all that Iowa is at this point. I giant cess pool of pig shit.
