My great grandfather gave me lead to play with.

A lead sinker from his tackle box. I guess he didn't know it was poisonous, and it got me to thinking that in an earlier century guns fired poisonous bullets. How awful is that!

Severe illness from heavy metal poisoning is extremely rare today but there's enough in the environment and even getting into foods to accumulate in the body.

This is very bad when you're young and it can lead to lifelong health problems and lowered I.Q.

So parents should be aware that they need to check up on the yearly advisories issued by health agencies about baby food and other recalls related to arsenic lead etc. to keep their children healthy and mentally well.

Google baby food lead poisoning recalls to read up on this.

Lead sinkers and lead on circuit boards don't pose much danger. It's the hydrates and oxides, soluable forms that are health risks.

@SteelHands Speaking of lead, they have found lead levels in Lunchables snack packs, and the company, Kraft-Heinz, has obtained a contract to provide them for school lunches across the USA. (In reference to lowered IQ's). One lunch does not contain enough lead to matter...but over a period of time, these children will have lead poisoning if they eat them every day.

@4meAndyou That's awful.

@SteelHands The FDA found the lead. When they reported it, Kraft-Heinz responded that they were, "Disappointed in the FDA!!!" Obviously the FDA took a bribe at some point, and they weren't supposed to release this information.

@4meAndyou Not possible to bribe appointees of the people's people, us, who chose from among ourselves our leadership.

If that's true them we are owed the names of those who were bribed and the names of those which hired them and the names of those who's job it is to clear them for job approval.

In the maze of corporation deck shuffling and wierd nonsense "policy" theaters of virtue signaling and special interest advocacy, this should give insight.

We already know that ad dollar revoking gets used to cover up many other crimes as well but we're not supposed to see it.

[b][i]So each time you hear a company say it's pulling its ad money somewhere now you know the REAL reason. These are truly evil villains. We should never buy or do business with those companies who practice ad pulls. Not ever. Never ever again.[/i][/b]

Big Ad agencies are just the mega corporate bribery division that have their fascist fingers in everything from "trusted news" to "political rising stars and career sunsets."

I suggest it's another of the many reasons why they hate just one New York businessman turned President so much, but didn't seem even slightly threatened by a big pharma head honcho in the Republican primaries.

Trump lacks the need for an ad agency. He's beyond their reach.
