[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=CA renter]I think we need to start by taking *out* the stuff that’s bad for us: in our food, in our water, in our personal care products, in the packaging we use for our food, in our soil/environment, etc. Let’s start there, and see what needs to be done after that.
And, yes, we might need to give some people a type of speed [/quote]
Ok, so while we wait for policy action and pharmacological solutions, there’s no personal initiative that’s possible?
As far as cleaning our environment, how is that going to happen? “sick” people don’t seem to be calling for any change at all (like cancer patients are calling for more research).
If we are worried about hormonal changes due to chemicals in our food, then we should be avoiding packaged items at all costs. That’s individual action we can take. Think of a paper cup of coffee. The cut is manufactured somewhere with bleaching agents, adhesives, etc… Add high heat and there will surely be leaching. Same goes for food boxes, etc… Minute amounts of chemicals won’t kill us, but repeated use might affect some people who are most sensitive.[/quote]
We’re in agreement on this. Also, people who are concerned about weight, including overweight/obese people, have indeed been trying to call attention to these things in order to change them. The corporations who benefit from the marketing of all these chemical-laden foods and packages are fighting every inch of the way. Notice how the GMO labeling initiatives keep getting knocked down…how in the world can you explain that?
