Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Mexico does buy unregistered and banned (in the U.S.) pesticides from the U.S. and then exports their produce back to the U.S. The following article talks about the consequences of pesticide use: " OBREGON, Mexico - Yaqui from Sonora, Mexico, are seeing an increase in birth defects, while young people are dying from cancer after working without protective clothing with pesticides in agricultural fields near their villages. " See http://www.indiancountry.com/content.cfm?id=1096412487 for the whole story. Also, read http://www.american.edu/TED/mexpest.htm for more information.
