There is substantial evidence linking increasing exposure to polluted air with high blood pressure, stroke, Parkinson’s disease and dementia. Yet we continue to marinate our hearts and our brains in a relentless fog of toxic chemicals in part because we are unaware that these poisons are exerting such nonstop havoc. Near where I live there are restaurants and coffee shops which provide an outdoor dining experience on busy thoroughfares with a steady stream of vehicles bathing the patrons joyously imbibing their cappuccinos in a constant eddy of lethal compounds, unbeknownst to them.
I’m going to be a bit of a smarty pants here and suggest that the the simplest solution would be to take a keep cup and enjoy the cappuccino experience in a park close to nature and distant from the pollution.
