Skin Care, Cosmetics, Congress & Kourtney Kardashian?

So maybe someone can explain to me why it takes a celebrity (if you can call her that) such as Kourtney Kardashian to gather the attention of Congress?  Yes, you heard me right.  Last month, Ms. Kardashian sat down with members of Congress to discuss the ingredients which are permitted in skin care and cosmetics in the US vs in Europe where their restrictions and standards have been in place for many years.

I was first made known of these dangers by a advocate against breast cancer, Karen Miller who heads the Huntington Breast Cancer Action Coalition.  I recall feeling extremely naive, 12 years ago, when she said, what you put on your skin goes directly into your blood system in 26 seconds.  I sought out safe products and have been introducing them to others since.  Try as I might, there are still those who think what I'm saying is not important enough to listen to.

Hence, my dilemma.  If someone with tremendous knowledge such as Karen on the subject of possible causes and effects of breast cancer is not being heard, and certainly I'm not being taken seriously, WHY is KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN?

I suppose, it shouldn't matter.  The fact is, they did listen.  Will they do something is another matter.
