Ive blogged about the dangers that fracking poses to our food supply before, as has my colleague Amy Mall. Late last year, Elizabeth Royte also wrote an excellent piece for The Nation, Fracking Our Food Supply, that explored the potential for drilling operations to contaminate our food. Supported by dozens of anecdotes of sick livestock from Pennsylvania to North...
