6-7-11: What’s Gotten Into Us?

McKay Jenkins‘s new book looks at the mostly unregulated world of synthetic chemicals that surrounds us–and infiltrates us. With What’s Gotten Into Us? Staying Healthy in a Toxic World, Jenkins hopes to help us make safer consumer choices.

Today, he tells Tom about the book and about the health scare that led him to write it.

Hampden’s Dogwood restaurant is hosting a dinner with Jenkins tomorrow, and there will be a reading afterward down the street at Breathe Books. Details are at this webpage.
