What about the American babies? Don’t they deserve BPA free?
I was recently in the states at the family condo in Birch Bay and had to go shopping for baby bottles because the border lineups were so crazy that we decided to wait it out. We went to the local shopping mall and I was surprised at what I found. BPA containing bottles. Once I thought about it, it made sense. Health Canada is the only federal governing body to completely ban BPA containing baby bottles and sippy cups. The US is still allowing them. This made me wonder a couple of things. One, does the US care less about the future health of its children? and two, do the companies that sell these bottles not care that they are poisoning children when there is conclusive evidence that this stuff is bad for kids? I can’t help but feel that these companies are probably relieved to still have a market to sell the remainder of these bottles. Many of these companies are now having BPA-free bottles manufactured and they are starting to appear on Canadian store shelves, yet only the BPA containing bottles are on US store shelves. Sort of reminds me of how pesticide companies are still selling agent orange to developing nations even though it is banned in the developed nations. What is up with this?!?!?!?! Shame on these companies and I sure hope that the US steps up to protect its children.
