'I wonder what the cancer rates are for those that live off the grid and have very limited exposure to any kinds of plastics, pesticides or any other kind of harmful chemicals?' Reading this makes say, moving back to Maine and being outside lots makes me look around at all the slow death around me now, whew, hunt fish garden what the f ever, 3 states away are shitting on us , me you them, it is everywhere. Asthma is huge here, I think directly related to weather and lack of circulating clean air, in the hoiuse, not all jacked and trapped with huge co's. Can not fish some of the rivers, construction travel and pestasides fucked them up too.
