When: Tonight: Mon. Mar 26 9-11pm, TV special. (also Thurs. 2 am).
"Trade Secrets," a report on the chemical industry produced by the Peabody Award-winning duo of Bill Moyers and Sherry Jones. The documentary is based on internal documents about the chemical industry.
It addresses a fundamental question about the industry and environmental safeguards: "In the 50 years of the chemical revolution, more than 75,000 chemicals have been released into the environment. What happens as our body absorbs them, and how can we protect ourselves?" Info: Charlotte Brody or Sharyle Patton

"Trade Secrets"
Although I was shocked by the blatant disregard for PEOPLE by the chemical industry, I can't say I was surprised. As an organic farmer I do believe the same type of knowledge exsists about chemical agriculture and to the terrible cost we will someday pay for the health and environmental effects of industrial agriculture. Remember we all vote with the dollar we spend on food for what kind of agriculture we want. I was also some what dissapointed about the small mention of chemicals in agriculture but perhaps the big players just haven't had the evidence documented.by Cindy Dutcher on 2001-04-04 18:21:50
