I'm hearing some of my children's generation saying they won't put a microwave in their house now. Remember when those first came out, we were cautioned about radiation possibilities? Think of all that has changed over the years--a lot of pre-made/pre-mixed artificially colored foods. Chemicals are added as preservatives for longer shelf life or transportation. Now our pots and pans have coatings to make them easier to clean but is that leaching into our food? More chemicals are being applied to plants and the roadside instead of simply cutting them off. Our ecosystem is also changing so there may be more in the air that we breathe and the products we use. We wash our clothes and immediately put more chemicals on the surface with fabric softeners!
