So last year it was Teflon coatings in cookware and plastic food packaging that gave us IBD

The year before it was air pollution

And now this: synthetic clothes

Let's all wear wool!

Doubtful...but I do agree people have sensitivities to products that could overload the immune system.

I thought it was cleaning supplies and that we live in too clean of an environment so we do not have enough good bacteria in our bodies.

That's crazy. I'd like to see the actual studies though before believing an article that only interviews the "Plastic Soup Foundation." Wool is cruel to animals though, so I'd never wear that. Plenty of other options, however.

Now I read that it was a the large companies that developed seeds that would be disease resistant, grow faster and be just alittle less nutritional and have a little less taste.....

I guess I'm gonna have to see about getting sheep and planting my own cotton. And I'll have to learn how to do the rest too.... Spin, knit and.... I'm overwhelmed.
