Another 39 percent say the "slightly agree" or "slightly disagree" with this statement. Similarly, 40% say "they do everything I can to avoid contact with chemical substances in my daily life." |

| #10 "I would like to live in a world where chemical substances don't exist." What the hell does that even mean? And stay in Europe! |

| #9 For that matter, water is "a chemical substance". Speaking broadly, all matter would qualify. Next they'll go after "radiation", unless I already missed that. There goes the sun, do do do doo. |

| #7 Soap is a chemical compound (Basically lye and fat.) I seriously would not want to live without soap in all its forms. |

| #4 Taking Organic Chemistry in school killed the word "organic" for me. My favorite enviro-weenie quote: "The man* who invented radiation should be shot!" *presumably some dead white guy. Sorry, no link. |

| #2 I bet 100% of the 40% drink soda or energy drinks and don't consider them chemicals. They think of that lime-green toxic sludge that creates zombies in the movies when they think chemical substances. |
