Petroleum products can cause cancer.
Not that difficult. Benzene and all that. Fat people usually have cardiovascular issues.

According to the EPA

I don’t doubt that chemical plants can produce toxins that cause cancer, but the EPA is a den of lies whose minions are willing to create and use false data.

They are NOT a scientific organization anymore, if they ever were. They are one of the most powerful tools of the neo-marxist left that denounces objective truth and pushes false narratives for power.

Can’t you see why the left is pushing neo-marxists into judicial roles? Prosecutors and Judges and tainted juries filled with MSM propaganda?

The courts were at least somewhat of a bulwark against lies.

Please note that I am not defending chemical plants or big industry. What I am saying is to Doubt All Claims of Truth Based On Modern Scientific Data, or simply because your Government says that something is true.

Without claiming to be an expert, I have read and heard many scientists claim that process foods are a major cause of cancer.

What’s more regulated, a rubber plant or Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) and the things that go into processed foods like high fructose corn syrup?

The CDC and the Louisiana Tumor Registry have both debunked the entire “Cancer Alley” moniker (created by the President of OCAW) when they were locked out of BASF in the late 1980’s. Rates in the River Parishes are NOT higher then the rest of the state, and the types of cancer found are more relatable to diet, obesity and poor medical care (which also ties back to education).

And as for EPA, the current leadership, in Dallas and DC are environmental activists and community organizers. Sound science has no place in this administration. Just another Federal agency weaponized by Biden and his handlers, sent to wage war on oil and gas (Obama had already largely taken care of coal).

This is true. My parents finally moved out of the River Parishes to the Northshore in the early 80s as the chemical plants continued to grow in the River Parish area. With that said, Parishes like St. Charles are doing really well with tax revenue because all the tax incentives that the parish provided to entice business have expired. The schools, police, fire, etc. are receiving the benefits now.

Least shocking headline you'll read today. Who da thunk it?

I mean, the most popular restaurant in that area is named Fatty’s. What do you want?

Are the chemical plants in the River Parishes responsible for the highest concentration of NFL and NBA athletes per capita in the nation?

Yes. It’s like uranium, some people get super human powers while some get cancer. Haven’t y’all seen watchmen before?
