Hi @canadian-coconut, thanks for your post and for posting in the past with such passion and clarity. I was introduced to steemit by my brother who fully engaged with steemit a little while ago and who always seems to write with the same clarity you do. Anyway, I'm enjoying my steemit experience so far and have posted a few things close to my heart.

I do not have children and never will. It's not a possibility for us I'm afraid. Having said that, we both love children and care about them, as I believe most people in this world do. I wish we were able to have our own as I know my wife would be such an excellent mother. I'll never get to see her do so unfortunately. We have a couple of cats that fill that void though. :)

I read your posts with interest and wonder how I would feel if my children's health and wellbeing was at stake, what would I do to protect them and spread the word about possible sources of harm. I think it's admirable that you share your stories and research and am pleased the steemit community embrace your posts and that if in disagreement with you do so in a logical and respectful way. (Except that individual who disrespected your children.) I look at your 1000 followers and back at my much lower number and can only applaud you for presenting great content to your audience. I hope to emulate your success through my own posts and in presenting honest and relevant material.

Keep up the great work and keep those posts coming.

Cheers, @galenkp
