Why does everything seem to cause cancer?

Because it does. Because we're finding more and more consequences to the artifical means we use to "get ahead" including things like MTBE, food preservatives, pesticides, genetic engineering. All of these problematic enviromental hazards are results of trying to cut corners. We've been doing this in America for centuries. Now we're teaching the developing nations to have the same irresponsible behavior...except that our corporations and our government seem to be more irresponsible with these countries because they are not our home.

The ironic thing is that in terms of environmental well-being all countries are our home, our global home.

Thank you for pointing this out. I work to make more people aware of the dead-end practice of extracting more and more of the world's resources and producing more and more discarded waste. I understand that the lead that came to us in the children's toys a few years ago was traceable to e-waste. We ship a lot of e-waste to China. Food for thought...
