- I am a mother of Lead-poisoned children.
- My 16-year-old son was acutely Lead-poisoned when he was just 7-months-old and has a diagnosed brain injury as a result of his Lead poisoning.
- I have dedicated my life to this issue since his poisoning.
- Please read my article (linked below) to help you understand some of the politics and B.S. behind the current news (about Lead in baby food) and for a list of suggestions to help you get through this time with a well-fed baby.
- I have been a low-income mother.
- I have been a single mother.
- I have been a median income mother.
- I have been a married mother.
- I have been a mother of one child.
- I have been a young mother.
- I have been an old mother.
- I am now a mother of four children.
- We have experienced more than our fair share of food scarcity.
- So I know this topic — feeding children healthy choices (while also trying to keep your family afloat) — is not without challenges.
- Three of my children have disabilities from their Lead exposure.
- Two have significant disabilities that make being in the world difficult for them each and every day.
- I implore you, if you read just ONE commentary on the news this week, please read mine.
- I am SICK as F*** that bloggers who know NOTHING about LEAD or LEAD POISONING or LIVING WITH a LEAD-POISONED CHILD or BEING A PARENT OF CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES are being dismissive of this concern and acting like the media is FEAR MONGERING around this.
- This concern is REAL.
- This concern has REAL IMPACTS.
- I live it every day.
- YOU can protect your babies NOW if you give this news the attention it deserves.
- We can demand change, too — we can shift corporate accountability on this matter — but each one of the bloggers out there talking about how it is not a big deal is COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS to the TRUTH when it comes to the impact of childhood Lead exposure and they are therefore DAMAGING our chances at this progress (with every person they bring over to their side by convincing them this is not an issue of concern).
