A Little Something Extra in Your Child's Lunch
As I was editing the newsletter for my son’s elementary school, a notice from the principal caught my eye. The Center for Environmental Health has filed suit against makers and retailers of vinyl lunchboxes. It turns out the lunchboxes contain lead. Apparently, in some countries vinyl is made using a lead-based stabilizer. In others the lead has been replaced with tin or calcium. An inexpensive test can be purchased online to check your child’s lunchbox.
