Over 50 of which are banned in the EU because of their deleterious
effects on humans (one of them is the infamous agent orange).

I don't think Trump cares what the average Amerikan citizens eats, so
check the label before buying, unless you have a fetish for cancer.

Brazil grows a lot of soybeans, right? The Chinese may be buying a lot
of Brazilian beans. Pour that **** on!

No, Bolsonaro won't export to the Chinese because they're
"communists". The silos are full of soy beans. Farmers are going
bankrupt paying for storage. On the upside, soybean oil is half-price,
and it doesn't contain the more dangerous chemicals because it's made
from a 1-2 year old harvest.

afaik the only Brazilian products I've bought were made by Taurus, no
herbicides needed.

Just hope the guys making them weren't shaking too much from
the pesticides. Safety catches won't work so well if they were.
