This is headed down the path of DDT. I fear for the future generations.

    i've looked for the whopper about 3 times, and i can't seem to find it...what/where are you talking about?

    A study by a Seattle-based environmental group found traces of a toxic flame retardant in the breast milk of 40 women tested in the Northwest.

    Ha! It's all a PLOT by Enfamil .



    What exactly was the point of that article? 40 women out of the whole Northwest--what does that mean?!



    One of the things I loved about living in Washington was that nursing was the norm. I moved there from Texas where nursing was some sort of freakish, anti-social behavior.



    Sigh.
