Operation: What's in it!?

The chemical industry has gotten way out of hand. The industrial complex is so over-reaching that it's hard to find anything that isn't full of toxins, and harder to figure out exactly which toxins. Lobbyists have muddled the truth, and slowed progress in regulation, as usual.. and when a chemical does finally get regulated, chemists often just swap out one molecule for another, give it another name, and the show goes on.

(This ongoing process shows why we're up to "Red #40", after banning one red chemical dye after another, without ever seeing m&m's stop producing red m&m's. Oh yeah, and chemical lobbyists got it OK'd that they don't have to print the chemical name, and just print the identifier "Red #40" and leave it to the consumer to look up... I don't have a link, yet, but that's the gist of it - if someone has the specifics and sources please leave them here! )

This operation calls for seeking out the truth to what things contains what chemicals. This includes food, household items, natural products - everything. What's in it? What don't we know?

Label your posts in a way that organizes it by the items themselves, like #food, #lumber, #clothing, or whatever else you're exposing, and finally tag it with #whatsinit
