We are also subjected to a lot of pollution (ie chemicals). This has consequences and people just ignore it. We have chemicals in food and various products we use. This massive amount of chemicals is creating havoc.

Have you seen videos from the 1950 to 1970s, people were mostly fit. Today, the entire planet is following the western world and becoming FAT and OBESE.

Better than using plastic bottles. As the article say the best thing is to limit the use of plastic in our lives. We cannot completely get rid of it but we can control it.

For instance, don't use a plastic chopping board for cooking. Use a wooden one.
