In amongst all the valuable information on pesticide contamination for us humans, I found this:

"Dogs and cats were contaminated with 48 of 70 industrial chemicals tested, including 43 chemicals at levels higher than those typically found in people, according to our study of plastics and food packaging chemicals, heavy metals, fire retardants, and stain-proofing chemicals in pooled samples of blood and urine from 20 dogs and 37 cats collected at a Virginia veterinary clinic."

There is extensive information on this comprehensive site. People need to react to a world that has changed due to the chemicals we've alowed into it since WWII, and since the uprising of our industrialized communities since 1950.

The most annoying thing to me is that most of the people I pass along a small bit of information about understanding how our selection of foods needs to be more careful, don't care, and don't want to know. Their eyes glaze over. When you briefly mention how some of our diet today effects our children, it makes no difference to them. I hear comments like, "Oh, well, you're gonna die of something." They actually get angry.

This is even more frustrating to me because I have no patience for people who resist change simply due to the fact that it is change. I'm a quick-silver, fluid person who has always embraced change, and expected it for that matter. I think, generally speaking, not having an open mind is a bull-headed, ignorant way to live.
