[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is supposed to be the risk of having your child wear non organic clothes, drink from plastic bottles, etc.? Obviously the word “toxic” sounds bad but what do people actually think happens if a child uses a plastic toy or whatever?  [/quote]

Endocrine disrupters impact all sorts of growth and development things. https://www.nrdc.org/stories/9-ways-avoid-hormone-disrupting-chemicals

Chemicals legal in the US (like glyphosate, found in Round Up) have been listed as likely carcinogens on other countries.

The Atlantic did a piece on why we are fatter now than previous generations and found that there is likely environmental (our daily environment, not like global warming) factors that lead our bodies to store more fat, because we tend to actually be more fit and active now.

Research has shown that chemicals leech from plastics, particularly when heated

I'm lucky enough to have the means to purchase better-for-you items, which I believe are both better for me, the world, and the workers that produce them (and by the way, this doesn't mean organic everything-/ it may mean buying local produce that is fresher and has a lower carbon footprint), so I figure... why not?  But I don't care if others feed their kids hot pockets warmed up on a plastic plate. You do you.  For me, trying to limit chemicals that may have e a negative impact had very little downside, so why not do it?  [/quote]
