Drinking from the garden hose

Yes, we've been told that drinking from a garden hose that leeches plastic chemicals into the water is not a good thing. It won't kill you right away, but those forever plastics do embed in your bones for the long haul.

It's like prior generations who ate from dishes where the glazing process included lead. People ate off those plates and didn't die immediately, but they did suffer from health-related problems later as the lead became embedded in their bones for the long haul.

It's not courage to do what you've always done despite scientific evidence suggesting what you have always done is not healthy. In polite society, we call that choosing to be ignorant or thinking it's perfectly fine to pollute the air with "beautiful clean coal" because that's the way things were done before it became known that coal is neither clean or beautiful. Hey... can I bum a cigarette off of you?
