Non-toxic doesn't equal harmless
So, you think you can't learn anything from TV? Think again.
In a recent episode of the new show "Eleventh Hour" there was a throw-away comment regarding non-toxic labels. The lead actor notes that "non-toxic" means nothing. Zip. Nada. It's an unregulated term. Then the characters quickly move on to another matter. Meanwhile my mind is screaming: "Nothing?! Stop! What do you mean nothing? ... Come back!"
I needed to know more, but the show moved on to some other foolish thing like saving a town full of kids. Whatever. That's fiction. But this. The possibility that I'd been hoodwinked again — it could be true. <snip>
