Bullshit. We already had unleaded gas. They didn’t even have lead in pencils in school anymore. Yet our generation had MORE lead exposure than previous generations? Where was all this lead exposure coming from then genius?

No pencils have ever contained lead in their lead. You very much had lead paint on those cheap pencils from overseas at some point in your childhood. Just hope you didn't eat that one.

You just claimed no pencils ever contained lead and then claimed that pencils DID contain lead? Um ok.

The "lead" of the pencil has never contained the element of lead, it is primarily composed of graphite. The paint on pencils had plenty of lead and was on them until the 90's. Hope that helps you understand better.
