Everything Is Killing Us

“Despite the obvious differences, humans and mice are biologically very similar. And so far, I have yet to see a chemical carcinogen identified in animals that didn’t eventually turn out to cause cancer in humans.”
 — Everything around us is killing us, but at least we don’t look like a fucking mouse. Anyway, the piece, which is about how chemicals are everywhere at all times, just sharpening their little knives before jumping down to murder us, ends with an actually fairly helpful list of eight realistic things we can do to make our lives slightly less chemical. For instance, take off your shoes, throw out your air fresheners, and buy things in glass jars instead of metal cans. Sure.
