    • Quotes

      Fred vom Saal: So it's not just that you're infertile. You are unfortunately fertile enough to produce an abnormal baby. Anything stored in a polycarbonate container will contain Bisphenol A, 100%. It is certain. It is an indirect food additive. Anything stored in Bisphenol A should have Bisphenol A listed as a component of the food you are eating. What's the difference between what is put in by the food processor or what is put in as a result of the food packager? If you can legally create a situation where the food processor must tell you, why can't you create a situation where the food packager must tell you? The food packager in the United States happens to be the biggest chemical companies in the world: General Electric, Dow Chemical, uh, Shell Oil for many years, uh, you know, Bayer, Mitsubishi, these are very, very powerful corporations, and they have tremendous power over politicians.

    "Plasticonspiracy"
    Do you really want to know about Plastic? Do you? You know that those who are oblivious are most likely to be better off. So are you sure you want to watch this? I guess so. But then again, it's not like big secrets will get revealed. It's just that things get spoken out, that you might have thought about and forget ever since. Or are just trying to ignore. So will this help remember?

    Isn't it ironic me writing this on my plastic keyboard and you reading this on your monitor, that has all kinds of plastic too. Not as ironic as watching it on (plastic) Disc. But then again, how else would you be able to get (that little) information they are giving out.

    A movie that quite possibly might change your perspective on a few things, but don't expect it too boost you or make you happy-go-lucky.
