Hold your nose

I was reading this article today and it got me thinking. Kind of in the same way as we fixate on fertility issues now far more than I anticipate did the gals in olden times, we are very concerned now about things that may impact our children (actual or future) that I don't think our parents or grandparents ever thought about. Don't get me wrong, I think that it's a good idea to inform yourself and be conscious of potential hazards, environmental or otherwise, but I also think there's something to be said for letting kids live their lives without their parents hovering over them and exuding stress at every turn. The article talks about this risk of car seats leeching chemicals that swirl around kiddies in the car, but then goes on to say that that's no reason not to use them since they are necessary. No shit Sherlock! So let's work to make car seats out of materials that aren't sending out invisible waves of poison but in the meantime buckle the youngster up. Deal?
