So it finally hits the limelight again. Took it long enough. What am I talking about? The headlines touting the carcinogentic ingredients that are in baby bath products. Why are people so shocked about this? Environmentalist and natural beauty experts have been screaming this for years. It hits the news stands now? Silly people.
Even sillier is tht baby products aren't the only ones with these ingredients (formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane). Adult products have them too. They are preservatives and foaming agents. Stories about that haven't come out with that yet since the watch group that did the study with only popular baby products (L'Oreal, American Girl, Johnson and Johnson, Sesame Street, etc). But would adults act so strongly if they knew what was in thier products? Maybe not. But, oh, for the children, of course they will.
Forgive the fact that I find this funny. It isn't that the findings are humorous, it is the people's reaction to such news that I find funny. They are so surprised, so shocked. Well, here it is wonderful public, Johnson and Johnson doesn't care about what is in the products, they barely care if they work. What they care about is that you BUY them and they make a profit. Time to wake up, general public. Look at what is really causing the cancer and disease we didn't have years ago. And even better, look at what you can do about it. Boycott their products, demand better, healthier ingredients. When they lose profit, they begin to listen. Make that the bigger lesson here.
