eCigs a Deadly Fashion Statement

e-Cigarettes (or just eCigs for short) are growing in popularity everywhere and leading the industry to $2 billion in annual sales based on the most recently published statistics.  At the malls, in restaurants, and most public places, you will see teens puffing away along with adults.  As is the norm on Child People, the word "adult" is used loosely to signify anyone 18 years of age or older, but does not necessarily mean that they are capable of carrying out adult behavior.  Since there is no current legislation in the US banning teenagers from smoking eCigs, they are most at risk of the hidden dangers.  The dangers come from inhaling toxic and carcinogenic elements such as Acetone (nail polish remover), Xylene (paint thinner), nitrosamines (cancer causing), and formaldehyde (used to embalm dead bodies).  Also, there is no regulation as to how much nicotine is contained per puff.  So the next time someone next to you is smoking an eCig, you might want to think twice before standing too close....

Do You Eat Pink Slime? - Meat Unfit For Human Consumption Mixed With Ammonia

With current heightened awareness on what Americans eat and labeling the foods we eat, here is a look at Pink Slime.  Pink Slime consists of the meat byproduct from animals such as cows that are unfit for human consumption, but instead of throwing it away, it is mixed with Ammonia to kill any E. Coli and any other harmful bacteria, and then repackaged as food fit for consumption.  Despite your stance on Pink Slime or Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO), Americans should be given the respect and courtesy of being informed as to what they are putting into their bodies and the best way to accomplish this is through proper food labeling.  In the video below, Jamie Oliver, in true ChildPeople.com fashion exposes how Pink Slime is made.
