In more environmental news, a new report accuses the meat industry of polluting the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Chesapeake Bay and the Great Lakes with toxic chemicals from manure and fertilizer, causing massive “dead zones.” The report from the environmental group Mighty says the toxins cause algal blooms, which then decompose and deprive the water of oxygen, causing fish and other wildlife to die off. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is expected to announce this week that more than 8,000 square miles in the Gulf of Mexico are a “dead zone”—an expanse of water about the size of New Jersey. The report says the meat giant Tyson Foods is the “dominant” influence in the pollution.
