Thankfully, there are still voices like TFE to remind us of the real and valid concerns over BPA.<BR/><BR/>Since the FDA has demonstrated it will do nothing regarding endocrine disruptors, it is up to us as individuals to make choices to protect ourselves and especially the children in our future. Perhaps, through the work of blogs like TFE and others, millions of educated consumers can accomplish what our government refuses to do: drive unsafe products out of the marketplace by exercising our economic power. Choose BPA-free products. Educate family and friends so they can make BPA-free choices. Leave industry with no choice but to adapt to a BPA-free future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
