Please Do Not Give Your Kids a Toxic Christmas

Post by Donald Farris »

Hi,
I remember when we didn't have to worry about the safety of things like toys. But times have changed. See: Report: Toxins Found In One-Third Of Toys Tested

So since our government doesn't check this stuff anymore, please do the best you can to ensure you give your kids safe toys on Christmas morning. Don't ask me how you can tell.
Mankind must put an end to war or

Stability and peace in our land will not come from the barrel of a gun, because peace without justice is an impossibility.

Thank you for the reminder! I know there are theories relating to those toxins in toys and other things that could be linked to the incredible rise in the last decade in ADHD, Autism, and even asthma and other allergies. It is the only thing that makes sense when mixed with certain genetics.

For those looking for non-toxic toys, you may want to check out KangarooBoo. They are committed to carrying eco-friendly, made from sustainable materials and non-toxic. You can also search their inventory by country of origin, so if you don't want products from a specific country, you can do so.

One of the owners (a husband/wife team) is also a cancer survivor.
