I urge them to be environmental activists. (joke)

Not really a joke, though. I teach them that their child will get
contaminated one way or another, that a large amount will get through the
placenta and that the manufacturing, packaging and waste of industrial infant
food adds a substancial part to the contamination of our environment.
Warmly greeting,
