Gender Bending Chemicals

A large portion of the population in the United States store food in plastic baggies, buy baby toys, has a shower Curtain, and everyone has or had a rubber ducky.

This chemical has been found to harm especially males, and unborn baby boys. It has the power to make a male more feminine, and could change the sex of an unborn male, or result in the babies genitalia to be closer to the anus than normal.

So why this chemical still legal, why is it still being used and harming innocent people. There could be no stopping this problem and if so what would the result be. How would we have what we have now without plastic? Is there a way around phthalates? Can this chemical be imitated in a safer and healthier way? Is the public really aware of what they are using, or buying and supplying for there family?
