Thanks, I really enjoyed the 20 minutes documentary. Particularly how as humans on the top of the food chain, we absorb the most chemicals and toxins - which is then given to our babies in breast milk.

As we are trying to have kids this year, it has really made me re-evaluate what chemicals I am exposed to in my food and environmentally.

And the fact that the fire-retardant used on many items, including pillows is a neuro-toxin (that we expose ourselves to for 8hrs night) clearly shows that we need to find a better way to keep our heads from catching on fire while sleeping. It's only when we see the sad truth of things that we can appreciate how ridiculous some decisions the government/manufacturers make.

What a great video! I have such a short attention span it's amazing I sat through the whole thing.

I have talked to so many people who see the economy as a simple matter of supply and demand and cost of production... what so many people don't seem to get is that clean air and clean water are resources that are consumed in production just like labor and raw materials. When companies release their 'junk' into our air and water, they are using up those resources that belong to everyone at little or no cost to their bottom line. They're getting something they're not paying for. They don't just move to other countries in order to get cheap labor or avoid taxes.

That bit about planned obsolescence was just priceless. I'm going to share this with everyone.

Thanks!
