says it all.......extrapolated, not the raw data, but made up from other data. Also note the location....Sydney, a very healthy area to live.
The findings were then extrapolated out using the Australian VegeSafe garden soil database,
We also will continue to enjoy our chock and duck eggs.
The soul would have no heart, if the eyes had no tears.

I just saw the exact same article. "Don't be self-reliant, it's terrible for your health!'. Pffft sure, whatever idiots.

Remember leaded fuel? Every major intersection and traffic light stop had surrounding areas drenched in lead emissions while the poor buggers trickled along to and from work in their cars. Absolutely no surprises there. Come and test my soil. no lead here, but i do need more sulfur! Then ABC has a conniption over Dubbo water not being fluoridation for the past 3 years….. no Fluoride in dubbo water for 3 years
then this about all rainwater in the planet being unsafe to drink; “ One thing to know: A study has found rainwater everywhere is now unsafe to drink
Yup.
A study by scientists at Stockholm University has found that rainwater everywhere on the planet is unsafe to drink due to levels of toxic chemicals known as PFAS, which have exceeded the latest guidelines.
Here's what you need to know:
Commonly known as "forever chemicals" because they disintegrate extremely slowly, PFAS were initially found in packaging, shampoo or make-up but have spread to our entire environment, including water and air A compilation of data since 2010 showed that "even in Antarctica or the Tibetan plateau, the levels in the rainwater are above the drinking water guidelines that the US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) proposed" Here's what the study's lead author Ian Cousins said:
"There is nowhere on Earth where the rain would be safe to drink, according to the measurements that we have taken."They really hate people who are resilient, self sufficient and outside the “protective” sphere of the big cities and towns. The tree changer must really be frustrating the human herders and their urbanisation fantasies.

Years ago, on the ABC Science show, Robyn Williams put a immediate 3 week moratorium on bad news stories when "scientists say that oxygen causes cancer".
We all go in the end, get over it.
Cant have people with battery's and generating their own energy, must rig the system so they don't have to pay them....etc, just imagine if someone invents a fuel pill, the oil companies would go ballistic, oh yes, its called wood gas......
The UARTS wont take this speed, Captain.

It was only a warning for people with chooks in highly polluted, inner city areas...don't know what the problem is here. If you live in an inner city area that had heavy industry and you have chooks, get your soil tested.

I don't know about you but the very title is misleading and indicates "Eggs from backyard hens contain 40 times more lead, researchers warn". Gutter journalism if I ever saw.

From the article, 400,000 Australians keep backyard chooks, and the researchers checked 55 of them. Hardly an adequate sample size to formulate a credible result, but what else would you expect from the shallow thinkers that infest our universities.

It got your attention didn't it? That's what headlines are supposed to do. Same as the ABC article that I read a few days ago. It got my attention, I read the article realised it wasn't all bad but that people with chooks in inner-city or previously industrialised areas should take note.
If they choose not to then we can just let the laws Charles Darwin laid out take their course I guess...

My main point is that this isn't the first misleading article from this news site and the particular journalist.There seems to be a never ending agenda being pushed against those wanting to live independently from the system. But if you deem Murdoch media truthful and factual, then that is for you.

I guess that's one way of looking at it.
Another one is you could use your extra earning power to buy organic eggs? That's what I do.

I did work in abattoir compliance a while back ... trust me ... you don't want to know how the commercial sector deals with heavy metal detections in processed livestock. It disturbed me. And I don't do that job any more. Too much head in the sand, look the other way stuff going on.

Like said.... "I don't take advice from woke wankers" People who will say home raised is not good for you... Things need to be processed to be consumable..
Then tomorrow they will be saying processed isn't good for you because that is the band wagon of the day... --- --- From the article Rastus linked, "hungry people are more productive when manual labor is needed"......
Obviously this writer has never missed a meal judging by the quality of what he put out for journalism...
My curmudgeon thoughts of the day..

It's an industry that has many 'unsavoury' people as workers. They are the ones who handle your food. Far better off raising or hunting your own meat.

Touring an abbatoir would turn most people into vegetarians. It's an industry that has many 'unsavoury' people as workers. They are the ones who handle your food. Far better off raising or hunting your own meat. This is exactly why we went vegetarian. It's not a woe-is-the-lowly-beast mentality. It's "I grew up where ethical farming is the norm, and the meat tastes far better". I'm a fan of not being cruel if there's another way. And there most certainly is another way, it's just that mass factory farming can't support it. The average farmer doesn't want to be cruel. The average farmer does care about the product that they're putting out, and they know that they could do better if they got better prices for their meat. The average farmer isn't the mass-corporation style bully that strong arms them into lower prices and more intervention though. But there's not a lot of choice when the consumer demands rock bottom prices and the middleman gets the biggest slice of the pie. And the majority of abattoirs fall under that same mentality. Get it killed, get it quartered, get it out. And if it takes a slightly psychotic crew who don't care if a few animals are intentionally tortured for fun on the way through, well... Better a cow than a person, right? 😑 I'm really looking forward to moving because we'll have access to several ethical farmers who have travelling butchers that come to the farm with a cold truck and butcher on site like we had in our town when I was a kid. A couple of days out of the year it was culling time, the rest of the time the flock/herd were happy out in the fields. Best of both worlds IMO. I've missed bacon, I'll definitely be happy to go back to more frequent bacon sarnies! lmao.
