Thousands of mutant bass larvae on a fish hatchery in Australia were born with two heads and died within 48 hours. The hatchery on the Noosa River has been experiencing more and more mutant fish, at a rate which appears to coincide with the expansion of a nearby macadamia nut farm. That farm uses pesticides—carbendazim and endosulfan—which are banned in many countries, and is now completely bordering the hatchery. The fish were tested and no virus or bacteria were detected leading specialists to believe that it's likely the fish were affected by toxic contamination in low levels over time. The Queensland state government claims that the macadamia farmers are using the pesticides according to the instructions, which may exempt the farmers from fault but doesn't exactly change the situation at hand. Meanwhile, horses chickens and sheep at the hatchery have also experienced higher birth defects in the past two years. The local fisheries department is looking into the matter.

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
