I lived in base housing for a few months when I was 4; I have no recollection of ever having any interest in chewing paint.

Exactly my point.

The left has been pushing the enviro-wacko scare about lead-based paint for decades, and no one ever seems to call them on the obvious:

When have you ever seen a child chew on baseboards, casings, or doors?

Hasn’t the sale of lead-based paint been illegal for 40-odd years?

I would think that by now the vast majority of lead-based had been either gnawed away, cleaned-up or burned to the ground.
