Carlos Sonnenschein Quotations

“We ourselves in our daily life try to be as careful as possible about what we eat, but we have no control over what happened before the food that we buy arrived at the supermarket. And therefore it is important to have a system whereby there are certain things that are not going to be tolerated.”

“Instead of the public or the government to show what’s wrong with these chemicals, it makes sense that the manufacturers would tell us that they are convinced that these products are safe, instead of us waiting . . . for decades until we show the effects.”

Dr. Ana Soto Quotations

“We are acting in a reactive way. It seems that we are catching up with the consequences of our poorly thought actions. In other words, we release chemicals into the environment, and then we find out that they produce unexpected effects. . . .”

“[P]iecemeal solutions are not good. That is why I’m saying [we] need ethicists, lawyers, and chemists . . . to think very profoundly about how we are going to save the world for our children so that they don’t have the problems that we are seeing . . . : altered reproduction, autism, all these things that have been linked to environmental causes . . . obesity, diabetes. So, I think that what is at stake is too big. . . . If we do not reproduce we will go extinct. It is the destiny of ninety percent of the species that ever existed. We would like to accelerate that?”
