This story is symptomatic of our problem; what business is it of D.C.’s as to what SOAP we use?
We do NOT need Obama cultists deciding what washes our hands.
Should be easy to prove as long as the study is held to the same standard as that of second hand smoke or global warming studies.
Here’s a story about something that seems good but causes catastrophe. Sweden was the first country to experience polio. Then, polio marched around the globe. Nobody could figure out why. Sweden was a socialist country and it was the first country where the do-gooders had mandated inside flush toilets. Twenty years (one generation) after that milestone was achieved...polio. It turns out that for millions of years we’ve carried polio in our feces. We never suffered from it because we were constantly exposed to dried feces dust containing polio. Then, for an entire generation, no exposure and therefore no immunity.
So, along comes anti-bacterial soap. It kills 98% of the bacteria on your hands. But that’s like killing all the grass and weeds in your yard. You’ll soon have a lawn full of weeds and those weeds will be immune to the poison you’ve used on them.
What could go wrong? (I avoid anti-bacterial scrubs. If you’re not performing surgery, soap is just fine.)
Pipe down and dont forget to flush your govt approved toilet by the light of your govt approved light bulb.
the POSOTUS needs to be bum rushed by the House by piling on all the crap he has laid upon the American people and Impeached..... Does not matter if the Senate convicts, this scumbag needs to be sidelined and taken to court if for no other reason than to keep him occupied so he cant screw around with us at those moments he is before congress.
If they can’t kill an industry outright they will just regulate it out of existence. I wonder which donor requested this.
So, was this a result of a lobbyist from P&G or some other soap company that has not bought up all the little soap makers?
I know of a company in Jacksonville that specialized in these type of products, not for everyday consumers, but for medical customers like doctor’s offices and small hospitals. Clorox decided he wanted to sell it to them so they could get into that market.
There has to be something to it. Just find a soap company that does not sell its own version to find out who paid the lobbyist.
They’re already in your bathroom, in case you missed the low capacity toilet.
If you like your soap, you can keep your soap.
A lot of them have alcohol. It’s offensive to Muslims. It must be banned.
What about the hand sanitizers? Do they really do any good?
This is being done in a way to force thousands of small manufacturers out of the market, leaving only (cooperative) multinationals like Procter & Gamble and Unilever to control the entire market.
It seems odd to me that lately it has been hard to tell the left from the right with all the reactionaries and panic-mongers on both sides. It is clear from basic science that this it probably, and even likely. And yet, here we are, finding a conspiracy. Scares me lately.
There is a legitimate role for government regulation in policing the marketplace and prohibiting harmful substances and products from being sold to consumers as if they are beneficial. In this instance, the chemical triclosan, which is widely used for its anti-bacterial effects, also seems to be an endocrine disruptor in both people and wildlife. Call me old-fashioned, but, even if it takes a federal rule, I prefer that America’s boys and girls develop normally and that as adults their junk be in proper form and fully functional.
Let's talk about Lysol....Is it better than bleach??
They take it upon themselves to rid America of everything that works:
the US Constitution
filament lightbulbs
5 gallon flush toilets
manual thermostats
gas powered cars
zinc swabs for colds
and now anti-bacterial soaps
So much for no “bedroom police” or “kitchen police” or “living room police” or “bathroom police”.
Liberals are mentally ill.
All the anti bacterial products are killing off the susceptible bugs, leaving the ones that are hard to kill. So we are having outbreaks of things like MRSA that can't be treated.
We don’t use antibac anymore; that stated, it is not Big Gov’s job to dictate cleansing products.
