NY Times reports: "WASHINGTON -- President Trump's fiscal 2018 budget proposal would cut the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Science and Technology nearly in half, while paring by 40 percent funding for E.P.A. employees who oversee and put in place environmental regulations, according to a White House document that was shared with The New York Times."
"And while the agency's administrator, Scott Pruitt, has vowed to prioritize the agency's cleanup of hazardous waste sites, the president would cut funding for the program, known as Superfund, by about 25 percent. And spending for a program to restore former industrial sites contaminated by pollution, another stated priority of the administrator, would shrink by about 36 percent."
"Those cuts are part of an overall E.P.A. budget reduction of about 30 percent, as outlined originally in March, when the White House unveiled the top-line budget requests for the fiscal year that begins in October. The agency's budget would drop to $5.7 billion -- its lowest level in 40 years, adjusted for inflation -- from its current $8.2 billion."
Conclusion: eat organic plant-based whole foods for health and as a necessary corollary of progressive political/ethical/ecological values.
Resist Trump. Resist corporate fascism, whose twin pillars are fossil fuels and meat. I am what I eat (actually what I digest), and WE are what WE eat. There will be no political revolution without a corresponding and supportive dietary revolution because the status quo of corporate fascism we desire to replace with a green, sustainable future is based on the twin evils of fossil fuels and animal food production.
Did I mention that diary products make people grumpy? I welcome grump free dialogue. We know that eating animal products has an addictive side (side note: early man was mostly vegan, scavenging in hard times and in desperate times hunting) and so I expect that meat/dairy addicts will wish to mock the evidence, just as drug addicts are in denial about their own addiction.

Have you ever thought about why so many people eat meat? It's been scientifically proven that it's better for our bodies to get our protein from plant-based sources rather than meat, yet the average American eats 200 pounds of meat per year. Meat and dairy consumption are linked with numerous health risks including cancer, heart disease, and obesity and more; however, the U.S. government and many medical doctors support the false ideology that people need to consume a specific amount of meat and dairy products to maintain a healthy diet."
