We all know that we are required by Federal Law to worry about lots of different things. There is some speculation inside the Beltway that this Federal Law does allow us to select what we worry about. Others say that we do not have this prerogative and we do, in fact, have to worry about everything… Or do we?
The latest big worry that has been directed my way is…
There Is Lead In Some Reusable Cloth Bags
“TAMPA TRIBUNE November 19, 2010- Besides causing learning disabilities in children, the toxic chemical lead is especially good at making green inks look greener and yellow inks yellower.
That's the most likely reason why recent tests commissioned by The Tampa Tribune found elevated lead levels in elaborately decorated grocery bags sold at Winn-Dixie and Publix, according to executives in the promotional merchandise manufacturing industry.”
Now I probably do not know what I am talking about (so what’s new?) but I have decided that this is one worrisome thing that I am not going to worry about…
- The amount of time that my cantaloupe is going to spend in my Elaborately Decorated Reusable Cloth Bag is probably about 20 minutes (time it takes to drive home from the grocery store).
- In my uninformed opinion, I believe that it will take a lot longer than 20 minutes for those evil thingies inside that leaded bag to leach into my unsuspecting piece of fruit.
- My uninformed and Foolish opinion goes a bit further and says that it would probably take about 52 years of being wrapped up in my Elaborately Decorated Reusable Cloth Bag for my cantaloupe's skin to be penetrated.
OK, I got carried away in my third bullet above… Or did I?
Would I kid u?
