Favorite quotes / excerpts from "No More Dirty Looks"

pg 8

Yes, my mom's aluminum containing anti-persperant is okay because she only uses it once in a while. Right.

"You also might imagine that there are loads of ingredients that companies can't use because they're unsafe or untested, and won't use because they're disgusting - things like formaldehyde and crushed beetles."
pg14

Have you ever wondered how they get the strawberry yogurt so red? From a sepcial red beetle from Mexico. Happy snacking.

"The fact that we are bathing our kids in products contaminated with carcinogens shows how woefully out of date our cosmetics laws are and how urgently they need to be updated."
pg20
