Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

[Mother of Chaos]

The article makes a fair point. What many such articles don't take into account is accumulative poisoning. Some of these chemicals and particles our bodies are unable to deal with at our present state of evolution.

I've stopped reading the popular media on such topics, mainly because each "discovery" we have known for centuries. Much like chickens, we knew by trial and error what was and what wasn't good to eat and being mainly foragers, everything mattered. It was all good with a wide ranging diet. It's hardly surprising the highly processed foodstuffs and the industrial growing methods are causing us problems. Profit is a dirty word.

This is very true. The accumulation of microplastics is especially concerning. Fertility rates are dropping in many, many countries, and it’s not because “career women” are postponing or skipping having babies. Demand for IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies is skyrocketing.
