Early onset of puberty in girls linked to obesity

I was trying to be "cute" in a very serious topic. The entire endocrine disruptor epidemic is actually quite frightening for the human population as a whole. We were given a paper to discuss this topic in one of my college classes back in the 90's. I gave my mother grief as a child for her reluctance to use plastic wrap or anything plastic to container food (I saw how much easier it was to put away leftovers at several friend's houses). She knew better, and I recently picked up glass tupperware for food storage. Besides the benefits of not contaminating my meals with carcinogens, the food spoils at a much slower rate.

a little trivia...
The Dutch Cheese Guild ruled that wrapping cheese in plastic was to be forbidden and only wax was permitted. I'll have to search to see if these policies have changed and when.
