Random thought — would this have anything to do with the rise of the metrosexual? ;-)
You are not the only one to question this. My son (now in his early 30s) grew up in Gainesville, FL, home of the Gators, and he maintains that is why he isn’t very macho. With 25-30,000 women on that campus, plus another 10,000 or so at the nearby community college, plus another 30-40,000 women living in the town, no doubt there was/is a lot of estrogen being peed into the water system. It has to have an impact logically. Move to the country and get a deep well.
I think people just assumed all medicine broke down into harmless basic components when flushed ;HOW this was supposed to occur never troubled anyone.
The supreme irony is we live in a world based on all kinds of scientific research and chemical use ,yet only a tiny percentage of people have any understanding of science.
I cannot convince my boss that putting a generator on the wheel of an all-electric car to charge the battery as it travels is NOT going to work.
Looking back, I am so glad we moved to Canada when my son was five and my daughter, 18 months. I don't want him exposed to that stuff in the drinking water--we have a deep well.
“Move to the country and get a deep well.”
I’ve operated a small water company, kinda in the sticks, for 30 years. 4 wells at about 300 foot depth. We have to test for everything! Almost all results are not even detectable by the testing used. A few, like some radiologicals, are so far below the EPA minimums action levels, that abdo-lutely nothing needs to be done. Country, yup! Deep well, yup!
