This is the last thing I need:

Bath Ball Water Filter

Did you know that you absorb more chlorine from your bath and shower than your drinking water? Medical studies indicate that this can be harmful to your health. If you are filtering your drinking water to get the chlorine out, you should be filtering your shower and bath water as well!Read more... )

I think the stress of keeping up with everything that's bad for you is... bad for you. I went through a period where I was really sick all the time, and went a bit crazy looking for everything that could be bad for me. I found out what were the worst things, and let a lot of the other stuff slide a bit.

It's smart to keep an eye on what's going on around you, but being obsessed with everything-that way lies madness.

I totally agree!

I think I do a good job at staying somewhere in the middle. I am aware, and do consume mostly safe stuff (organic when it really matters, etc.).. .but so far have not become a raw organic vegan that lives off the grid, yadda yadda. Not that I haven't considered all those extremes! I guess when I read things like that, they kind of blow my mind. I also get stressed out SO easily. Then I swing with the blow and catch my breath :)

p.s. Also as someone who has tonnes of marketing experience, doesn't the text seem quite pernicious? The whole "should be" thing gets to me. argh.

I just think they know their market pretty well. You know, people who always feel they 'should be' doing more.

I think it's almost like a chicken and egg thing cause in a way they are making that market.

They're just pushing them along. There are plenty of guilt-wracked people with paranoia and feelings of inadequacy out there.

You know, people with mothers...
