Chemical children.
Following the Industrial Revolution technology has led to the identification and employment of a vast variety of chemicals. This has affected both agriculture and nutrition. The body's capacity to cope with chemicals is limited. Many, obviously, are toxic. What is safe is what is serviceable. Children, long before immune defences have been properly organised, are particularly vulnerable. Body changes are apt to result--food intolerance and asthma are becoming increasingly common and behaviour has been shown to be affected. Means of dealing with the results are discussed.
