WaPo article re: forever chemicals and turf fields

[Anonymous]

There are microplastics everywhere and cancer rates are rising exponentially in the young adult-30 year old populations the fastest.

There probably are even more in the water and Gatorade your kids are drinking from those plastic bottles or the wrapper their Chic Fil-A comes in.

I'm not trying to be facetious. I had a near meltdown when I first read the turf studies on goalies over 10 years ago when my younger kids was 5 and spent the older ones practice diving all over the turf and rolling around and wrestling in it until they all had the black on their faces and covered in those beads. This was after a year of doing this.

Then--I just realized we are all FKKKKKd. Literally. My non-stick pans, etc etc.

So--I'm not even opening any link about this. These forever chemicals are found to in newborns --passed on from the mother through the placenta.

Just don't go there. I eat organic mostly. I finally ditched the plastic water bottle about 5 years ago, etc. But--there is no way I can control the stuff shedding from the clothes made god knows where---or dress in hemp like a hippie, etc.

Sorry man, I can't control the paywall. I subscribe to WaPo and I'm always logged in so I didn't even think about it.
