I agree with you about the chemicals. They probably are not good for you. This time period also has a proliferation of tattooing. One study found that 13 out of the 21 inks tested were found to contain cancer-causing agents. It is unfortunate that the wealthier people in your society tend toward skin whitening. You become like the five people you associate with the most.

Happy to see you return to Steem. You are like a window to a world that I haven't been to and allow me to give thought to conditions that I cannot experience.
