27. How do you feel otherwise?
It isn't exactly uncommon these days. All these chemicals in our environment aren't good for us.

Sick building syndrome. New buildings make people sick, with all the chemicals in all the manufactured goods in them. Outgassing. Such as all the engineered "wood" that isn't just plain old wood. You know, the wood chips all put back together into something like wood. They "outgas" preservatives. New carpets outgas preservatives.

I had a new refrigerator once. Made food taste so bad it couldn't be eaten. Stank to high heaven. Something in the plastic they made the inside with. At first, they tried to make me keep it and put lots of charcoal in it. That didn't do anything. It was bad plastic, sorry. I couldn't eat anything that came out of that refrigerator!

Then, they sold me these plastic bags to put my breastmilk in, for my daughter! Same thing. Special, expensive plastic bags, to freeze your breast milk. Hmph! Ruined it.

It really is time for us to "rise up" and take power away from the corporations. The way it is now, they are shoving bad health down our throats. And this is bass ackwards.

It should not be nearly impossible to go out and buy healthy vegetables to feed your family. It should not be nearly illegal to grow food in a healthy way. It's just time for us to put our collective feet down and say, no more, buddy!
