Why do "natural" and "kids" go together?

I'm guessing I'm not the only person out there who began the "all things natural" journey when I had little people to think about in addition to myself.  I was never one to put any stock in alternative medicine, organic food, or anything but the cheapest soap and shampoo.  But when I got pregnant, a friend introduced me to Bradley classes for natural birth.  In class we learned a lot about whole foods and macronutrients, discussed breastfeeding, and were introduced to cloth diapers and attachment parenting.  And, you know, a snowball rolling down hill...  the more you learn, the more you realize there is to learn! 

It was simple math to me that chemicals can be more potent in tiny bodies than in adult bodies.  But there's a lot more to it than that.  Check out this incredible summary of what chemicals are bad for kids and where they're hiding from SAFbaby.com.  PVC, BPA, GMOs - my army son would appreciate all the acronyms in the world of chemicals.  Take a closer look at your children's toys, clothes, bed, pajamas, lunchbox, lotion, and of course food.  There's an overwhelming amount of information there, but one step at a time, we can all work toward protecting our children and our planet from the ever-increasing toxins in our society.
