Trading Away the Health of Our Children These days my two-year-old son's favorite word is why. Usually I have very reasonable explanations. But when he asked me recently why I was taking away his beloved Thomas the Tank trains, I had no simple answer. After some thought, I told him there was something in the trains that could hurt him, and that it was no longer safe for him to play with them. As he gazed mournfully at his confiscated trains, he asked, "But why?"Why, indeed? In the last few months alone we have recalled wooden trains, Elmo, Dora the Explorer and now Batman.

Trading Away the Health of Our Children

These days my two-year-old son's favorite word is why. Usually I have very reasonable explanations. But when he asked me recently why I was taking away his beloved Thomas the Tank trains, I had no simple answer. After some thought, I told him there was something in the trains that could hurt him, and that it was no longer safe for him to play with them. As he gazed mournfully at his confiscated trains, he asked, "But why?"Why, indeed? In the last few months alone we have recalled wooden trains, Elmo, Dora the Explorer and now Batman.
