Poisoned Profits

I thought the Shabecoffs covered the issue of chemical contamination in our modern environment with both emotional candor and solid empirical science. The suffering accrued and shear magnitude of all these individuals that were interviewed by the Shabecoffs brought a new insight into the shear scope of current environmental risks. The book definitely had an emotional aspect to it but it never caused the book to deviate from its sound presentations of how chemicals have become such a large part of modern living. The book gave a great overview of chemicals in our food, water, and air, and how companies have such an alarmingly powerful influence on government regulation. On a lighter note, really appreciated the appendix's of the book. There was great advice for what steps you could take as a person living in our modern world.
