What is a fatal convenience? -- This is the chapter about my dad -- Our chemical romance -- Personal care products -- Food and beverages -- Electromagnetic radiation -- Clothing -- Household products -- Some final thoughts -- Okay, so now what should we do?
"Fatal conveniences are the toxic products we routinely use and the unhealthy things we do that our culture and corporations have made us believe are safe and necessary for living well and efficiently. These things--from deodorant, cosmetics, dental floss, and sunscreen to laundry detergent, air fresheners, carpets, and crayons to candles, tea bags, cell phones, and chewing gum--are ubiquitous in daily life . . . and they are wreaking havoc on our health and our planet. The environmental toxins found in these products create a cascade of problems, including chemical sensitivities, auto-immune issues, obesity, chronic health diseases, and more."-- Publisher marketing.
