Under the administration's proposal, toxic residues from each chemical on each type of food would be capped so as to kill no more than one citizen out of every million citizens each year. Since there are approximately 250 million Americans, residues from each food-use of each pesticide would be capped so as to kill no more than 250 Americans each year, maximum. Thus the administration's proposal, in effect, gives blanket permission to the food-chemicals industry to continue adding new chemicals into the American food supply each year without anyone ever being able to calculate the consequences.
