Nonsense, those micro plastics add flavor that just won't go away.

That Plastic Planet doc

i still haven’t found a great alternative to be honest, but at the moment i just try to see if i can somehow use a strainer/colander to accomplish the same task. but its a bit of a half-measure and doesn’t work in all contexts

yeah it is extremely frustrating how many traps there are. i think it’s because the US has a culture of thinking things are “safe until proven unsafe” instead of “unsafe until proven safe”.

learning about the paper towels, microwave popcorn, and silicone cookware made me go nuclear on my kitchen. at this point i only let food touch glass, stainless steel, wood, or ceramic. it’s annoyingly difficult to find non-plastic versions of certain things (e.g. blenders) but after doing it once i don’t have to worry about it again for 5-10 years so it’s not too bad in that context. and i haven’t had to deal with any of the traps since then.

Well yeah. Our education system is a joke.

Yeah well, that's why we can't get healthcare. Then they could detect our diseases and toxins and we could class action sue. The class action lawsuits alone make corporations shake in their boots enough that they say we "can't afford healthcare for all." We can, but the rich corporations cant

Minutes, wise guy. Who measures water in meters? Liters, maybe

i meant microwaving it in a regular bowl and then putting it in a colander afterwards
