watch this.
it's a video of a presentation by the president of the environmental working group.
it's a 22 minute video but if you just watch the first five minutes, i think it'll really make a difference.
around the 13 minute mark, he talks about all the increases in childhood diseases in the last 20-30 years.
minute 15, change in age of breast development in white and black females.
minute 16, risk of americans getting cancer under age 65 is greater than in any other country in the world.
minute 18, quick changes you can make to reduce your risk.
minute 19, do.not.use.teflon.
i'm convinced.
watch it.

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
-Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi 1207-1273, written in 1230
