Sorry, I'm not a fan of California having grown up there.
The MTBE debate which I believe is just as much a bunch of horseshit. The whole Proposition 65 which does more to scare people into paralysis since it gets listed on everything from new cars to apartments.
Quote:
Q: I recently bought a product that came with a Proposition 65 warning. How do I find out more about the warning and the chemicals in the product?
A: Businesses are not required to provide OEHHA with any information regarding their Proposition 65 warnings. To receive more information about the chemicals of concern and the levels of exposure related to a particular product's use, one should contact the manufacturer of the product. The decision to provide a Proposition 65 warning is made by the respective business based upon its knowledge of the types of chemical exposures it is responsible for causing to individuals. A business is not required to notify our office or any other regulatory agency when it decides to provide a warning.
Because we do not know why a business has chosen to provide a warning, we generally cannot respond to specific questions regarding the safety of a product’s use, why a warning is being given, for which listed chemical the warning is being given, how long the chemical exposures have been occurring, and at what level a chemical exposure is occurring. The responses to these exposure questions should be obtained from the business.
The list of chemicals subject to Proposition 65 is available at http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/prop65_list/Newlist.html.
Q: My landlord just posted Proposition 65 warning signs at my apartment complex. Why is my landlord posting these warnings?
A: Tenants should ask their landlords for specific information regarding Proposition 65 warnings at their apartment building. Property owners and managers are not required to notify OEHHA when or explain to us why they provide tenants with a Proposition 65 warning. You can find general information on what tenants should know about Proposition 65 by reading our fact sheet for tenants at: http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/background/P65ten.html

Again, so we don't eat meat because of such crusades, then people who want to have off season produce get shipped their strawberries, apples, oranges, potatoes from Latin America, boom what savings and sustainability did we gain?
Oh but they are eating fruits and vegetables, it must be better
