Cancer in the Kitchen

I just emailed this message after reading Cancer in the Kitchen in the NY Times: Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have two young daughters and I am just horrified by the idea that they're carrying a toxic chemical load. I'm trying to protect them as much as I can, but it is an impossible job - and not in at all in any kind of normal sense, not the way protecting our children is supposed to be impossible. What is being done to our children is a crime against humanity. It seems like every week I find out about something else that I've inadvertently exposed them to - their binkies, their teething rings, their toys, their "gentle no tears" shampoo, the bottles my husband gave them of my breastmilk when I was at work. It's heartbreaking. I feel so totally powerless.

Lord, I hope this has some effect eventually. I'm nearly overcome with fury every time I think about it.
