arsenic in the food, and a half-eaten baby

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2014.06.24

So it turns out that rice from the US, which we've been eating daily for years, contains way more arsenic than it should. We'd been told this by a neighbour but it turns out that the story's been widely known for years. What's been done, and what will be done? Nothing!

And today, some Toronto city workers found half of the corpse of a baby in a storm drain.

It's days like this that make you want to just put your head down, ignore the news, and un-subcribe from the species.
