Wireless Smireless
I’m in the ‘no thanks’ category. Frankly, I don’t like the thought of invisible little radioactive waves running through buildings, concrete, and our bodies. So far, I’ve avoided it. No cell phone, no microwave, and I even have one those archaic keyboards and mouse that you actually have to plug in – soon to be a collector’s item I’m certain.
Here’s the bit I don’t like. Why is there so little knowledge and research out there about the effects of these wireless devices on our bodies and brains and why is there so little regulation around the amount of radioactivity you are allowed to subject people too. Sure, smoking is banned cause it’ll kill you in 10 or 20 years, but radioactivity is no problem…..fry away. Cell phones, for example, are radioactive. So why won’t the cell phone providers tell us how much radiation is bad for us and how much radiation is coming from cell phones. Cell phone providers should disclose how much radiation comes off each cell phone. Shouldn’t that be a criterion that informs the purchase decision?
Hi! I just read about your
Hi! I just read about your vegetarian change and wanted to comment, but you don't have a post up on that yet. The first thing I want to say is good for you! Cutting down on animal products is healthy and good for the environment. Seeing a nutritionist is probably a good idea, though I know a lot of doctors are under-informed about vegetarianism and veganism, so you might want to shop around for your nutritionist. Unfortunately, since I grew up vegetarian I'm used to it, and don't have any vegetarian resources (including egg and dairy information) to recommend... but I went vegan a few months ago, so if you're interested, there are a few things I could recommend there.
