We just watched that - aaaaaaggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh scary!! It was interesting to watch it with the kids - they were suitably horrified and seemed to understand why I've banned bubble bath and changed the cleaning products and am working at the other stuff too. In fact I think they will take more interest next time I start reading the backs of products before I buy, instead of being bored!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

We were wondering how many chemicals would show up in our systems if we were tested. We use very, very few around the house or on ourselves, while our meat and vegetables, being home-reared and home-grown, are also chemical free.

As for the people on the show, shuddddddder. I'm glad I don't live in the 'burbs any more.
