Moms Across America requested that the top ten most popular fast food brand meal samples be tested for 104 of the most commonly used veterinary drugs and hormones.

The legacy of the Mondavi family in the wine industry is renowned for producing some of California's finest wines for generations. Carlo Mondavi, the grandson of the legendary winemaker, Robert Mondavi, has stepped forward as a pioneer in transitioning their legacy family winery to regenerative agriculture.

The quality of school lunches has been declining for decades, yet this is a new low.

Moms Across America Editor’s Note: Testing school lunches for glyphosate, pesticides, heavy metals, hormones, and nutrients is something our federal government agencies should be doing. These test results should be made publicly available. Moms Across America is clear that the federal government is primarily in the pockets of Big Ag and Big Chem, so these actions are unlikely ever to be taken. So we took it upon ourselves to conduct these critical tests. We thank all those in our Moms Across America network and Children’s Health Defense for donating to support this testing! Now, we implore anyone able to donate to our current fast food testing project to Contáctenos o donate online today! We will be presenting our results in a congressional briefing. Be part of the solution with us!
