It seems as if you and I share a similar analytical drive.
I have always wondered why so many citizens behave like blind consumers and never ask these types of important questions. This is a rarity, even in journalism, and I admire you for your deep insights.

A couple of months ago I was in the government liquor store and noticed a charitable display on the checkout counter. They were selling these large hard plastic “Cheers” buttons. When pressed they make a drink toast in several different languages, something no human should be without. Beyond the fact that these, government run, retail chains are blatantly acting as a distributor of useless products, plastic crap that will end up in landfills, the main thing that occurred to me was how toxic this product was.

It is no secret that the manufacturing of plastics is incredibly toxic to humans and even more importantly the whole biosphere. Therefore, we have to ask ourselves, how responsible are organizations like the Canadian Cancer Society, and do they really have our best interests in mind, or, are they just shilling for the corporations, while they tell us to eat more broccoli and get more exercise.

We need to speak out against this kind of hypocrisy. Thanks for doing your part.
