You Can Take For Granite Aka The Daily Granite Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Did the Flintstones or Rubbles ever fear radioactive rocks?
Bedrock was the Mecca of Life during the Prehistoric Age,
Complete with animal powered vacuum devices,
And foot powered cars, bare feet without socks.
Modern man has come a long way but has it?
Lead was used by Roman plumbers,

The plumbers of Pompeii had a flourishing trade that included fashioning gutters of lead for the private homes.

We have just outlawed lead base paints within the last 30 years,
(Now we have China to contend with)
Madame Marie (Sklowodska) Curie noticed the effects of radiation,
Did she have granite counter tops?
You see granite has bit of uranium in it,

Apparently, some types of granite contain uranium and emit radon, which can cause lung cancer. The discovery of high emissions led one New Yorker to rip out her counter tops before her pregnant daughter came to visit.

Evidence has recently surfaced that granite is causing cancer through the amounts of radon it emits through manmade granite products.

I was wondering how many people know this fact.
It is well beyond their imagination.
Do Lowe’s and Home Depot guaranty their products from such a risk?
Will your food be kept warm by irradiation?
So granite is easier to clean from the biological viewpoint…….
I see …tisk, tisk, tisk.
Tell that to the Flintstones and Rubbles who had once lived in Bedrock.
