You are probably suffering from EPA syndrome. Some liberal

I don't think the EPA ordered the removal of phosphates. The removal started
with several states banning phosphates and the manufacturer's despaired of
making two different formulations. Proctor & Gamble and the other
manufacturers quit phosphates in ALL their products.
