This is where my personal life met my public life: my milk - Hannah's milk -
was about to be used by Sandra as her sole visual aid of the evening. She
was planning to hold the jar up for all to see. First, she would list off
the amazing benefits of breast milk. Then she would pass the jar through the
room and invite audience members to contemplate it. And then the reveal:
Sandra would go on to say that breast milk is the most contaminated human
food on the planet. Over two hundred chemicals have the ability to trespass
into breast milk, including toilet deodorizers, mothproofing agents, and dry
cleaning fluids. Organochlorines such as dioxins, DDT, and PCBs also make
regular appearances in our milk. So do farm chemicals.

And the revelation of this evidence would lead Sandra to the main points of
her lecture: that inherently toxic chemicals find their way into the most
intimate parts of our lives, even our milk. That our environment is within
us. That what we love, we must protect.



What a reason to clean up the environment, as we are our children's 'first
habitat' as Sandra puts it!  Judy
