Feel like the real underdog here is seafood.
Like, we know toxins concentrate in water creatures. That's why you'll see way more warnings about fish you harvest on any DNR page than you will deer.

Excuse my, but my only toxicity is in my attitude, thank you very much.
My ink is PFAS-free.
You're an air squid, your exposure is limited.
PFAS-fouled sewage sludge, which is used as a cheap alternative to fertilizer
Well, considering that toilet paper is full of PFAS to help it break down super easily, yeah, I'm not surprised.
Either make TP without PFAS, which will make it jam up pipes more, or use a bidet.

You've gotta be fucking kidding me. NOTHING IS SAFE ANYMORE GODDAMNIT
Nothing is safe, except the huge wealth advantage of billionaires.
PFAS-fouled sewage sludge, which is used as a cheap alternative to fertilizer
People still do that, with all the hormones and heavy metals? Modern human is above wolfes and sharkes in the food chain.

Someone already mentioned this indirectly but I think this correlation is because all three items mentioned go on to be cooked in cookware coated in PTFE or mixed with spatulas and other utensils coated in PTFE.
PTFE is indispensable for high tech uses such as well almost all processes where high temperature near water boiling point is required. 100 to 200C for example. Now, because of its original use as a food process coating, PTFE is about to be banned in a stupid way.
I much rather have it banned from food use articles and allow it for use in niche technology. That would make the material more expensive and so less profitable to use in stupid uses where other materials are available.
The PFAS and plastics boundary lines in fossil records will be indeed very distinct.
Got PDFs in my bones. Adobe pls.
I don't know how I would face the day without white rice...
I don't know what I'd do without coffee
I actually did manage to sub out coffee for tea, and can now go a day without caffeine for the first time since college. It's kind of an empowering feeling, that I would recommend.
Honestly I doubt it matters. They'll just keep adding more things to the list, this shit is everywhere.
I just made a batch of white rice, once cooked I freeze it on baking paper. Not long ago I looked into baking paper, it's loaded with some kind of plastic non-stick chemicals.
its a good thing i don't drink coffee.
Now i can pretend i don't consume the other things listed here instead!
