Lead-safety Message: We used a LEAD Group Kit to find out our farm soil is good and low in lead. The LEAD Group says broccoli is a great lead detox food, but in Port Pirie, children and pregnant women are told not to eat home-grown “leafy vegetables like lettuce, silverbeet, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower”. Instead, they could treat the soil with RC3 Yard N Garden Potassium Humate to bind the lead to the soil, and then start eating their leafy greens and backyard eggs!

Description of Work: Video shot on iPhone, edited in Splice with music from Shuttershock (licensed by Splice video editing app).

Message from Pregnant women and parents misled about dangers of living with lead pollution. Broccoli is a good source of: Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA); is rich in CalciumVitamin C and Carotenoids; and contains cysteine, a precursor of glutathione which detoxifies the brain and liver
