Not because the work is hard, though it is. And not because the cities are pulling people in, with promises of an easier standard of living, though they are. No, farmers in Sri Lanka are dying from Chronic Kidney Disease, and while scientists have linked the explosion in cases to use of agricultural chemicals, but so far nothing is being done. http://www.modernhippie.org Global Health Sun, 23 Sep 2012 10:38:16 -0500 I wonder who makes this herbicide/pesticide.
