Jessie- I completely agree with you. Let others wallow in their ignorance.

Jessie, I’m coming to your defense. I go out of my way to limit my kids exposure to toxins, and I agree with you that adding chemicals with possible risks to products that kids will be around is pretty dumb. I was considering a JJB bag but I won’t be buying one now.

in reguards to the whole “teflon’ thing. Jessie and a lot of other people read way too much into these things! There are so many more things “chemicals” that are unfortunately out there that we are exposed to everyday and prob don’t even know it! you’d be surprised what they put in food! I don’t think a using a teflon bag is going to cause you to have cancer. they also say that you shouldn’t use over the counter face washes..ie clean & clear, nutrogena, etc. while pregnant because you skin could absorb toxic chemicals. well needless to say I still used them and both of my children are healthy. there is just not enough research to “prove” anything for certain right now. just like the whole swine flu thing most americans don’t even know where all the media was coming from. most people who died were not even IN the US, it was mexico where the living conditions are horrible. and those that died in the u.s died from another underliying medical condition..the list goes on!! it is good to be aware of these things but unfortuately some get blown out of proportion..like the ju ju be bags causing cancer..please!

You’re just not fun to argue with anymore, Jessie, because you consistently ignore my points…you arrogantly can only support your tunnel view. I think it is shallow and ignorant to only argue Teflon…my point this whole time but you only think of ways to insult me by claiming that I don’t care about the environment. You go on and on and then on and on some more about how harmful it is to the water…I get it, I know!! But do me and everyone else a favour by admitting that you consume, probably largely, many other agents harmful to the water and environment. Go ahead and Boycott Teflon but it’s a mere piss in the pot when considering other hazardous waste being produced and dumped directly into our streams…but whatever, you don’t get it.

Anita, let me see if I understand your argument. Since we cannot avoid Teflon/PFOA in our water supply (mostly because companies like Ju Ju Be keep using it in products unnecessarily and DuPont keeps lobbying for less restrictive pollution controls), then it is best to just ignore the problem and let it get worse? Since we cannot fix the problem, just go along with it? I’m sure our kids and grandkids will be thankful for that mentality, especially when there is no water safe enough to drink, no frogs, no fish, and no wildlife. We as consumers have the power to make choices and send messages to producers. You are wrong to think that the small choices we make have no effect – they do. Look at how BPA is no longer used in bottles, asbestos is no longer used in ceiling tiles, lead is no longer added to paint (except in China, I guess), and many products are now PVC free. “Since you cannot change everything and anything, do nothing” is not a logical way to live, since the seemingly minor decisions we make can insitute major changes.

Exactly what I expected from you…defend what you find convenient. Slam what you believe to be hazardous. You’re not avoiding Teflon, Jessie but go ahead and justify that you are anyway…maybe it helps you sleep at night. Your arguments hold no merit with me. In fact, I find it funny that you turned an argument I used earlier around to support yourself. Well done!

I am not just boycotting one company. I’m boycotting any manufacturer who uses Teflon in their product. That would include any product with Gore-Tex. Any product with Teflon, including pans, many brands of dental floss, clothes and bags. The production of Teflon is horrible for the environment, has demonstrated negative health effects on humans and wildlife, and it is completely and absolutely unnecessary. Computers are more of a necessity unless you live in a cave and have no need to communicate with family, friends or employers. Avoiding Teflon is as good a decision as avoiding BPA/ lead/PVC, getting lots of excercise and fresh air, wearing sunscreen, curbing screen time, eating right, reducing consumerism, and writing to your local legislators to ensure consumer electronics are being recycled properly. Teflon is part of the big picture – a small part perhaps, but an important part.

What-evs…once again you speak of toxins in the environment and boycott one measly little diaper bag company because it is convenient for you. I guess you haven’t done research on the chemical toxins generated by YOUR computer. Look up computers and see how much more harmful computer manufacturing is to our environment. Oh wait, you may want to investigate fast food and cholesterol, just a thought. You may also want to look into the amount of low activity kids get today resulting in high cholesterol levels…they eat garbage and don’t exercise…because they’re sitting in front of computers. They’re also putting radioactive cell phones next to their brains which may result in brain tumors…seriously. Look a little farther into the big picture…

PFOA has been found to increase childrens’ cholesterol levels. I guess one could move to the Arctic Circle to avoid environmental hazards…oh wait, one could not, since PFOA has been found in polar bears too. Or, one could advocate for information awareness in the case of dangerous chemicals in the environment, so that future generations may not have to endure the toxic sludge that has become our rivers, waterways, and oceans. In any event, check out the PFOA cholesterol link at: http://pagingdrgupta.blogs.cnn.com/2010/09/08/chemical-linked-to-rise-in-kids-cholesterol/?hpt=Sbin
