OUR BODIES, OUR TOXIC DUMPS

An Associated Press story about pollutants in the human body begins with an anecdote about a California man who buys organic food and attempts to maintain a healthy lifestyle, only to learn that environmental pollutants are collecting in his body, such as pesticides, flame retardants and other chemicals.

One of the most shocking paragraphs: " In March, California researchers reported that San Francisco-area women have three to 10 times as much chemical flame retardant in their breast tissue as European or Japanese women. "

A glass-is-half-full perspective would appreciate the fireproofing.
