Because it's for the children!

Hopefully John Stossel’s working on this as we speak.

We are becoming scared of our own shadows in this country. I’m glad some media are beginning to challenge the constant drumbeat of fear spewed by the drive-bys.

Try living in Massachusetts, where a routine trip to the doctor for my 9 y.o. daughter’s annual checkup now included questions like: “do you wear your seatbelt? Do your parents smoke? Do they own guns?” Asking this to HER - not me, WHILE I AM IN THE ROOM! He writes the answers on her medical record.
Then when she was 13, it was “ok, now we’ll check your ears, and then if you want, Mom can leave the room so you can ask me anything you want”!! I said “I don’t think so, she can ask you anything she wants in front of me”. I felt like saying “can I have a few minutes alone with YOUR children to ask THEM invasive questions?”. The liberals claim that doctors have to do this because parents don’t parent anymore.
Evidently this is a mandated-Massachusetts thing?
Yikes.

My husband is a machinist/toolmaker and has worked in the plastics industry for many years. He told me a long time ago that these pthalates constantly shed from all plastics, esp. when they're heated. That's why they came out and said not to microwave food in plastic dishes. I think there is reason to be concerned, esp. since they've been around, our cancer rates have skyrocketed.

This fearmongering is also evident in the HPV/Cancer immunization discussion.
