before cutting and pasting, i will say that it is “better living through chemistry” that brought us to this cancer-prevalent age. almost 100% of the people who lived in michigan in 1973 got a fire retardant into their food chain (pcb’s) through a mistake made at a chemistry company. (they put fire retardant instead of a feed additive into the animal feed.) barry commoner ran for president in 1980. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Commoner Four Laws of Ecology One of Commoner’s lasting legacies is his four laws of ecology, as written in The Closing Circle in 1971. The four laws are: 1. Everything is Connected to Everything Else. There is one ecosphere for all living organisms and what affects one, affects all. 2. Everything Must Go Somewhere. There is no “waste” in nature and there is no “away” to which things can be thrown. 3. Nature Knows Best. Humankind has fashioned technology to improve upon nature, but such change in a natural system is, says Commoner, “likely to be detrimental to that system.” 4. There Is No Such Thing as a Free Lunch. In nature, both sides of the equation must balance, for every gain there is a cost, and all debts are eventually paid. i think we are still accelerating the switch to chemicals that caused the great experiment we now all ARE.

Does anyone remember ‘Solent Green’? As long as they keep it looking like food that we recognize I think that we will eat anything.
