The chefs, all of whom sell or endorse cookware lines, are opposing a California bill that would phase out the contentious chemicals from a range of products they’re used in, like nonstick cookware, food packaging and dental floss. California lawmakers could vote on the measure this week.
Easy to endorse poisoning people when your income is dependent on it.
Scientists have warned that PFAS can end up in food when nonstick cookware overheats, is scratched or otherwise starts to degrade.
However they say the bigger danger is from the manufacturing of products containing PFAS, which causes significant pollution, research has shown, by contaminate drinking water sources and getting into the food supply. The chemicals have become so ubiquitous they can be found in the blood of almost every person in the United States.
They can be found in the blood of every person.
When they were trying to do a study and compare people without them in the blood, they went as far as remote indigenous populations, faraway Eskimos, basically anyone they could think of that had absolutely 0 contact with modern civilization. Nope. PFAS. It’s worse if you’re in the first world (probably significantly worse if you’re in the US), but it’s everywhere. Anywhere there is water, there is PFAS.
They caused multiple municipalities to experience ridiculous rates of cancer, birth defects, dead animals, and all sorts of other health issues caused by teflon, then they only had to pay 16 million in fines, as a corporation that makes billions in profit every year, and changed the structure of one atom and kept on doing it.
Fuck DuPont for poisoning literally every single person on the planet and fuck the government for allowing it.
I’m sure the North Sentinelese have it.
Good luck checking. Those guys are awful about hospitality
Unless you show up with a lady and some coconuts.
Is that how that one dude survived?
