[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 2984, member: 25"]The kid would have to eat a tub full to come to harm. Virtually everything is wildly exaggerated when it comes to the peril of everyday objects. Most of the water I ever drunk came through lead pipes, I played with mercury at school, I eat carrots straight out of the ground, and we used to burn any old tyres and plastic on November 5th Bonfires, and dive in and out of the smoke. Not to mention the rain in the 1950s was what would be called low level nuclear waste nowadays. (I was the geek kid with the Geiger counter measuring the stuff, happy days of atmospheric testing.) In general, if everything was so dangerous, there would be far fewer people around, and way, way fewer old people.[/QUOTE]
