@@findpurpose6300 except we dont choose, we are FORCED, because there are no other options.

@@findpurpose6300 it has nothing to to do with "going of grid" Simple do not use plastic. Reduce when possible, don't buy anything in plastic jars, bottles, containers. That's what I've been doing for many years. You don't find plastics in my kitchen only glass and wood.
See, you have to think a little more about this. Yeah, plastic isn't great, but it also allows food to be widely distributed and cheap for more people. It's not as simple as just putting everything in glass.
Yes and leaving it up to the consumer choice is ridiculous when there is no choice. They should just be banned. Also we need those petrochemicals for other things. Like we do need them for sterile medical equipment and disposable syringes where it makes sense to use them. And it has not made food less wasteful waste has increased and it doesn't make anything fresher or protected compared to the old crates. It makes no sense.
Try and grow at least some of your own food. If you can at least cut down on the amount of plastic being consumed, you're still better off than most. You don't need a huge garden, many get by with a balcony to grow leafy greens and herbs (which are among the best for ridding your body of other toxins too). Plus, you can add a range of perennial plants to your garden so you don't have to work so hard at growing your own. Ostrich ferns for fiddleheads, red-leaved sorrel (not if you are susceptible to kidney stones), look into Day Lilies for edible species (these are nice in a stir fry. I cook the flower buds this way or add them to salad, where they have an egg-like taste. Also, the new Spring shoots are edible, and the tubers are too apparently). Perennial celery. Claytonia is great in damp, shady spots. Ransoms or Wild Garlic grows easily in damp soil. Bramble tips and nettle tops are good mixed into a curry or stew, the latter fine if stir fried sufficiently. Forced dandelions. Fuchsia fruits are like watery cherries, and hardy fuchsia bushes can grow pretty tall, loading themselves with berries. The more you look, the more good food you can grow with ease and all plastic free..

Totally agree, but not just the corporations but governments to! They stopped glass due to health and safety issues, and it could be used as weapons when broken!? That's what I remember hearing years ago, plus they always mentioned that plastic is more Eco friendly!

After having had cancer, this is something I have wondered about. When I had to stay in the hospital during part of my treatment, I thought it was ironic how much food I was given that was packaged in plastic while here I was, wondering about the role it may have played in my getting cancer.
It's impossible to know what caused your cancer. But there's a million factors. Even natural ones. But most people just take their doctors advice even though they literally want you to keep coming back, that's how they earn a living. They love prescribing drugs and treatments until you're gone and they have no use from you anymore. So they tell us don't eat meat, eat whole grains. Don't eat fat, that's bad for you, eat low fat foods high in sugar. Don't eat eggs and bacon which are basically super foods, eat bread, pasta, and other foods low in nutrients or nutrients you cannot even absorb. Don't just worry about plastic, worry about what they are telling you to eat. The food, medical and pharma industries are all in the same business. And look in to the Oreo vs Statins study. Cholesterol being an issue is a myth. Our brains are made of cholesterol and fat....yet we're terrified of it
This is why u probably have cancer not plastic no study show that it is plastic this why u got cancer smoking, getting too much ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds, being overweight or having obesity, and drinking too much alcohol. Not plastic everyone will have cancer then. People lived 100 years drinking from plastic.
I heard this once: my grandparents lived most of their lives without ever touching anything plastic...it was all glass, wood, metals & fabric in everyday life
@@rawbaconthan glass, cotton or stainless steel??? I don’t think plastic with phthalates are as chemically stable as glass and therefore the safety of this type of plastic becomes unknown.
Here in the Philippines provinces, we use banana leaves to wrap our food. We have abundant of banana trees here hence more practical to use it than buying plastics
I remember peanut butter, mayo, jams and jellies, mustard, instant coffee to name a few came in glass with metal lids. Loaves of bread in wax paper, kid's and adults went off every morning with sandwiches wrapped in wax paper. My mother never bought paper towels. Need to drain grease off food - use a couple layers of paper bag. We saved rags which were worn out clothes for cleaning up messes. My mother made her own window cleaner and we used newspapers to clean the windows. It was better then and it is time to go back.
She is also aging naturally (and beautifully)! None of those ridiculous fillers, injections, and surgeries to look like a Bratz Doll having a mid-life crisis.
Even worse, when you eat out many ingredients have been exposed to plastic. I ate a hip soup place, they make all their own soups from scratch, very popular local spot. They just serve you soup with break from a local bakery, very fast service. The guy went to refill the serving tray and he came back with a huge HOT PLASTIC BAG full of soup!!! And poured it right into the server like that! This may seem common if your work in food service since I’ve now seen the exact same thing at chipotle, I forget which hot ingredient it was, I think the beans? but it was poured out of a giant hot plastic bag. Even though they make their own soup they package it in plastic for ease of use.
@@5pointview717That's cool, but using a twig, for me at least, can seem unsafe unless it is sourced very well. I use boar hair bristle toothbrushes because although it can too collect bacteria, at least it can be boiled/ran through hot water to cleanse.

And the quality of those boar hair at that, as to what kinds of antibiotic shots or foods that boar was consuming, etc. But would personally still risk it over plastic.

More Propaganda! She showed you the amount, it's literally nothing. And if they were honest, they would also explain how long that bag of cheerios sat before it absorbed any of the chemical at all. Food items rarely sit around long enough to absorb anything they are packaged in. She found a way to get a free money grant and so she is sticking to it.
@@marcuslinton310your probably right with cold or room temperature plastics, but how about hot plastic. It’s been known for years that heating up foods in plastic is a bad idea. It causes the plastic to off gas chemicals. Fact. They actually use heat to expand water bottles when filling them. I’ve seen local grocery stores restocking their hot soups with large Hot plastic bags! Just a couple examples,but there’s plenty more. How about K- Cups? The idea of hot water running through that plastic cup for your coffee. Can’t be good.
@@johngrasso1483 Unless the plastic is melting, it's unlikely to leach any worse then it normally would. 120F is PET limits and microwaves heat the food, not the container, the container only gets hot from being in contact with the food so it's unlikely to reach it's melting point. Nobody uses plastics in ovens or on stoves. IE, plastic spatulas would never reach that temp when used properly. I'm hardly a scientist, though. But think about all of this with some common sense, right? There are watchdogs everywhere out there and if this was really a severe concern, it would have been receiving way more constant attention then it has. The way they like to keep people in fear is to suggest the constant build up of these chemicals in our bodies, but think about that for a second. We need to eat constantly because our body uses up nutrients and expels waste. Our body doesn't "build up" or "store" anything but fat. All the other 12 chemicals get used up and needs restocked via food. So, although these chemicals aren't the best thing for us, we do not "build up" an excess unless we are heavily exposed for some reason to a lethal dose. Similar to how all these recreational drugs work. They don't build up in the system over years and years, every single druggie would be dying from lethal doses at some point, far less then years, more like a few weeks or months at best. But they don't die because the drug gets used up and expelled instead of building up. If you ever seen a typical hit of most drugs, there is WAY more in that one hit then the few nanograms these people are talking about over a matter of even years. So the little amount we deal with on a daily basis is easily expelled by our system just like all the other environmental hazards we face every day from exhaust fumes, gas fumes, general CO2 from daily breathing, on and on.

We’ve been ‘lifted out of poverty’ aye? 100 years ago, the average common peasant owned (or had access and the right to cultivate) land enough to grow the vast majority of sustenance for oneself and kinfolk. Average folks would usually have at least a few items made from gold and silver (perhaps an heirloom set of silver plates, cups, dining utensils - a gold stopwatch, belt buckle or cuff links.. an ornately-carved jewelry box, hand-fashioned with artisan-pride and passed down through generations; its gilded lock and corresponding skeleton-key click open the latch, revealing a modest & cherished jewelry-cache: a ring, a brooch, a locket on a necklace chain - just a few things, but they’re things of real, lasting value, made with precious metals and gemstones..). The average work-a-day peasant of our modern, plastic-poisoned world has such an abundance of possessions that it causes a nuisance and eyesore, but what, if any of that stuff has true, universal value, which will still be viable after centuries? And not only did the good folks of the old world, before we ruined everything, have more autonomous prosperity and possessions made to last, with quality craftsmanship and materials, they also had an invaluable wealth of practical knowledge for self-sufficiency, as well as deep generational interconnection and awareness of ancestral lineage. People today are so impoverished, spiritually and mentally - many of us wouldn’t even know why such a thing has value and importance. Modern folks can’t tell glitter from gold.. and many of us will never own a house. We don’t have wealth, we have debt-slavers and piles of poorly made trash that we payed too much for and that won’t last more than 5 years, if that..
Why can't we use wax paper and glass? This all comes down to the oil companies. Plastic will never stop being produced, as it is a bi product of petroleum
Today's version of waxed paper can't be recycled because it is coated with paraffin, an oil-derived product. If we made it like they originally did - with beeswax - we could recycle it.
There was a project with U.C.S.D. and possibly Scripps Institution of Oceanography that made foam for flip-flop shoes out of alge or seaweed or something. It seemed like a very enviromentally friendly organic plastic. We could look to that as a possibility. It has been studied right here with funding for years. Packaging food in biodegradable plant based plastic may improve things. We have the established science right here in La Jolla. 😊
I prefer glass containers as well instead of plastic; it’s a shame more food manufacturers don’t provide such alternatives. As kids in the ‘70s/‘80s there was less plastic packaging overall and we were taught to either not handle glass / metal (i.e. open food cans with sharp edges) containers or to handle them carefully. The overuse of plastic is just egregious and senseless. Because so many consumers dgaf about the environment or public health, we need straight-up bans.
what? We dont love plastic. It's the evil elite that love cheap plastic to put their factory food & goods into. They are now the ones profiting off of switching everything to "green" which is nothing but a money grab. Remember the evil elite own all the factories of the world. If they cared about the environment they would switch back to products being put into glass containers just like back in the 1980's and before. Glass can easily be recycled, plastic is not easily recycled. watch "dr fuellmich grand jury day 1" = shocking vid exposing the lies and crimes of media/health officals/world leaders. worth your time pls pass on.

Thank you for this report!!! I’ve always despised plastic everything, but never repackaged most items once home due to cost of glass containers - will be doing that now….
When I was young everything was wrapped in paper, waxed paper, and glass. No one wanted or liked all the plastic that took over. Paper is far more flexible really, and waxed paper keeps your food fresher, because it folds closed and remains folded. The plastic wrappers will unfold as soon as you fold them. Then the plastic never deteriorates and pollutes everything, where the paper will quickly deteriorate. The glass bottles were returnable, sterilized, and used again. The caps were either made from waxed cardboard for say jugs of milk or orange juice, and metal lids often made from coated tin were see on evertelse. It’s time to return to the old methods. Would be nice to have milk, orange juice, and butter delivered one to 2 times a week again as well. JS.
Remember when everything came in a wooden box, glass bottle or jar, or a hemp bag? The only thing you'd have to worry about is live pests, mot microscopic plastics..
When she squeezed that oat milk I snapped my head and looked at that exact same bottle in my hand! And to make matters worse, I just squeezed a ton of Hershey's syrup from another plastic bottle into this blue one.
Most of the plastic you ingest comes from clothes washers and dryers. Those fleece jackets, microfiber stuff. It is on the air and even found in significant quantities in mountain lakes and streams.
I am literally making a healthy attempt to reduce plastic in my home. I am buying glass bowls to store my food in I'm going back to the days of my youth when we never used plastic at all. I saw a documentary where it said that the average American consumes a credit card size of plastic every week
No they live long supported for pharmaceutic industry, that keep them alive, vegetating till last breath. Why a great way to take off this beautiful planet.,
I'm not sure that stat is true. America has shorter life spans than other rich and even middle-income countries because unlike almost every other country, we don't have universal healthcare. We absolutely need to get plastics out of our food though. A large part of that is tire particulates which drain into the ocean and filter up the food chain.

Shouldn’t the FDA be stopping crap like this? What’s the point of paying for the FDA if they don’t actually do their job?!? This toxic crap is probably why I had cancer at 14!
The point of the fda is to provide security. Security is a feeling, it can’t be measured. The fda is only there to give the illusion of safety. Most things e we eat are “gras” generally recognized as safe. Corps isolate a chemical in some food, and then writes a letter to the fda telling them that the chemical is safe because it’s not known to cause any problems when eaten in food, and then the fda says, “great. Go make money feeding that to Americans” But there’s no testing.
The FDA is bought and paid for by the corporations. There was a man on the radio talking about this on my way to work one day and they basically ignore health issues when approving foods etc because of the money they get from these companies. Corporations own the world of politics and agencies. If the fda says it's safe go the other way

Apples are not processed foods and yet if they're wrapped in plastic you can be exposed to these chemicals. Basically anything wrapped in plastics is an issue. If you put meat in freezer bags and then put them in the fridge or freezer then you're exposing yourself to plastics. She literally said this in the video, did you even watch it? It's kind of hard to avoid plastics when they are everywhere. We should ban plastics. It's about time we did it. people are wondering why cancer is becoming more common in people under 50 years old and I know that it's because of this (and probably the glyphosate being sprayed on wheat. It's not crazy to know that these chemicals cause cancer and (quite possibly) autism, but most people are unaware of how exposed they are. You can eat the best diet in the world (no processed foods) and you're still being exposed. These chemicals are also in your soil and your water supply. Big corporations refuse to take them out of basic everyday products (such as soap, shampoo, and many other things).
Great report, easy to understand and comprehensive too. MTV used to have a slogan "Break the Addiction" about plastic bottles and rethinking plastic or unsustainable products. I ran with it and quit bopping into 7-11's and all the shopping bags and plastic housing for items of clothes and little bs., I finally woke up and said this is gross and a hassle. I stopped it. Now, my new focus is on why companies expect us to recycle for them. I want them to sell me food without expecting me to basically clean up their mess on my end. John Oliver has a good piece about recycling.
Thank you for spreading awareness. Companies will pay good money to shut this kind of reporting so that they don’t have to look for the alternative solutions.
My mother took a wicker basket and small grocery and vegetables vendors just put all different vegs in the basket. She would come home and sort out the potatoes, oniins, tomatoes, okra, etc. No plastic bags. Milk man came every morning and measured the milk into a pot. Only cotton clothes and bags were used. The peels were made into manure. Grew up not knowing plastics. If those were the days so can we make it now. Corporate and riches, more greed.

We are very aware of this. But you didn’t say anything about the differences in health that you notice. You just gave a blanketed statement as though that is easy for Americans to do.

If you were 113 years old, or had a clean bill of health, no sickness, you family for the past 7 generations doing the same thing and it benefitting each generations… then people would think twice and think of alternative solutions. Otherwise, it is like the person that says I would never take a bus, I walk to work.
Mine uses compostable bags. I chose glass containers if the choice is available. Unfortunately plastic consumption only continues to grow exponentially around the world. Manufacturers must be responsible and use widely available alternatives, even if the cost is higher. Public health emergency.

this appears to be the plan.... get a large percentage of the population barely able to get by causing them to buy cheap, polluted food, thereby assuring profits elsewhere.
Believe it or not, it’s significantly cheaper to buy raw vegetables, dry grains etc. and prepare your own food at home, than it is to eat pre-packaged and factory-prepared brand-name products (artificial matrix-food). For instance, a pack of tortillas costs ~$5, for maybe 18 tortillas with preservatives baked in to make up for the fact that they were baked weeks or months ago - and the pack comes in plastic, of course. A bag of flour costs ~$3 and just add water and pour the mixture on a hot griddle, and that one paper bag of flour might make 75 tortillas! Plus, they’ll be warmly fresh-fried each time you make them. And it doesn’t take long: 15 minutes maybe, to heat a frying pan, stir flour and water and fry fresh, delicious flatbread wraps. That’s just one example among countless others. Cooking your own food is amazingly cheap if you use common sense and remember the basic, easy kitchen skills known to all of human history until about 50 years ago. And what’s even cheaper, and also way easier than we’ve been trained to believe, is to sprinkle some seeds in the ground,give them water and sun, and thank Nature for causing beautiful foods to spring forth from the dirt: and so incomparably sweeter and more delicious/nutritious than sad, depleted supermarket vegetables.
glass is very heavy and suject to breaking. plastic is so convenient for packaging thats a big issue. heavy, breakable vs lightweight and capable of holding bulky items.
There is quite a bit of waste of food packaged in glass at the store where I work. Glass is so fragile and also dangerous for workers unloading items from trucks.
Just be careful with glass. Really not that hard. Also it being heavy is good for us. We need more exercise even in little ways such as this. It’s part of why we are obese now.
👍 However, I wish you had mentioned to never microwave plastics. Baby bottles, food containers, dishes used in fast food restaurants. All very unstable.

When I was growing up,the grapes were all spread out, and you’d weigh how many you wanted and put them in a bag. Of course now, they make reusable produce bags, but grapes are now preselected and sold in plastic bags. This also leads to food waste. Also, it’s ridiculous that potatoes are sold wrapped securely in plastic - one by one. I wish foods like tomatoes and beans were sold in glass or cans - no plastic. The foods worst for our body are also worst for the planet.

Totally agree, but not just the corporations but governments to! They stopped glass due to health and safety issues, and it could be used as weapons when broken!? That's what I remember hearing years ago, plus they always mentioned that plastic is more Eco friendly!
I first hold government responsible. It's a large part of their job to keep the public safe from harmful products. These things shouldn't even be legal, along with bee killing pesticides etc...
Or nothing at all. You could bring your own basket or bag like we did for centuries at market.

After having had cancer, this is something I have wondered about. When I had to stay in the hospital during part of my treatment, I thought it was ironic how much food I was given that was packaged in plastic while here I was, wondering about the role it may have played in my getting cancer.
Avoid food that's frozen inside plastic. When the food thaws, it picks up nanoparticles. Wash all your produce in salt water then rinse.
It's impossible to know what caused your cancer. But there's a million factors. Even natural ones. But most people just take their doctors advice even though they literally want you to keep coming back, that's how they earn a living. They love prescribing drugs and treatments until you're gone and they have no use from you anymore. So they tell us don't eat meat, eat whole grains. Don't eat fat, that's bad for you, eat low fat foods high in sugar. Don't eat eggs and bacon which are basically super foods, eat bread, pasta, and other foods low in nutrients or nutrients you cannot even absorb. Don't just worry about plastic, worry about what they are telling you to eat. The food, medical and pharma industries are all in the same business. And look in to the Oreo vs Statins study. Cholesterol being an issue is a myth. Our brains are made of cholesterol and fat....yet we're terrified of it
but aren't those medical tubes (drips) etc. plastic?

Even worse, when you eat out many ingredients have been exposed to plastic. I ate a hip soup place, they make all their own soups from scratch, very popular local spot. They just serve you soup with break from a local bakery, very fast service.
The guy went to refill the serving tray and he came back with a huge HOT PLASTIC BAG full of soup!!! And poured it right into the server like that! This may seem common if your work in food service since I’ve now seen the exact same thing at chipotle, I forget which hot ingredient it was, I think the beans? but it was poured out of a giant hot plastic bag.

@@marcuslinton310your probably right with cold or room temperature plastics, but how about hot plastic. It’s been known for years that heating up foods in plastic is a bad idea. It causes the plastic to off gas chemicals. Fact. They actually use heat to expand water bottles when filling them. I’ve seen local grocery stores restocking their hot soups with large Hot plastic bags! Just a couple examples,but there’s plenty more. How about K- Cups? The idea of hot water running through that plastic cup for your coffee. Can’t be good.
@@johngrasso1483 Unless the plastic is melting, it's unlikely to leach any worse then it normally would. 120F is PET limits and microwaves heat the food, not the container, the container only gets hot from being in contact with the food so it's unlikely to reach it's melting point. Nobody uses plastics in ovens or on stoves. IE, plastic spatulas would never reach that temp when used properly.
I'm hardly a scientist, though. But think about all of this with some common sense, right? There are watchdogs everywhere out there and if this was really a severe concern, it would have been receiving way more constant attention then it has.
The way they like to keep people in fear is to suggest the constant build up of these chemicals in our bodies, but think about that for a second. We need to eat constantly because our body uses up nutrients and expels waste. Our body doesn't "build up" or "store" anything but fat. All the other 12 chemicals get used up and needs restocked via food.
So, although these chemicals aren't the best thing for us, we do not "build up" an excess unless we are heavily exposed for some reason to a lethal dose.
Similar to how all these recreational drugs work. They don't build up in the system over years and years, every single druggie would be dying from lethal doses at some point, far less then years, more like a few weeks or months at best. But they don't die because the drug gets used up and expelled instead of building up.
If you ever seen a typical hit of most drugs, there is WAY more in that one hit then the few nanograms these people are talking about over a matter of even years. So the little amount we deal with on a daily basis is easily expelled by our system just like all the other environmental hazards we face every day from exhaust fumes, gas fumes, general CO2 from daily breathing, on and on.

RFK Jr talks about this
This whole world is filled with horrible stuff
Yes, but it is also this stuff that has lifted billions of people out of poverty.
We’ve been ‘lifted out of poverty’ aye? 100 years ago, the average common peasant owned (or had access and the right to cultivate) land enough to grow the vast majority of sustenance for oneself and kinfolk. Average folks would usually have at least a few items made from gold and silver (perhaps an heirloom set of silver plates, cups, dining utensils - a gold stopwatch, belt buckle or cuff links.. an ornately-carved jewelry box, hand-fashioned with artisan-pride and passed down through generations; its gilded lock and corresponding skeleton-key click open the latch, revealing a modest & cherished jewelry-cache: a ring, a brooch, a locket on a necklace chain - just a few things, but they’re things of real, lasting value, made with precious metals and gemstones..). The average work-a-day peasant of our modern, plastic-poisoned world has such an abundance of possessions that it causes a nuisance and eyesore, but what, if any of that stuff has true, universal value, which will still be viable after centuries? And not only did the good folks of the old world, before we ruined everything, have more autonomous prosperity and possessions made to last, with quality craftsmanship and materials, they also had an invaluable wealth of practical knowledge for self-sufficiency, as well as deep generational interconnection and awareness of ancestral lineage. People today are so impoverished, spiritually and mentally - many of us wouldn’t even know why such a thing has value and importance. Modern folks can’t tell glitter from gold.. and many of us will never own a house. We don’t have wealth, we have debt-slavers and piles of poorly made trash that we payed too much for and that won’t last more than 5 years, if that..

There was a project with U.C.S.D. and possibly Scripps Institution of Oceanography that made foam for flip-flop shoes out of alge or seaweed or something. It seemed like a very enviromentally friendly organic plastic. We could look to that as a possibility. It has been studied right here with funding for years. Packaging food in biodegradable plant based plastic may improve things. We have the established science right here in La Jolla. 😊
I prefer glass containers as well instead of plastic; it’s a shame more food manufacturers don’t provide such alternatives. As kids in the ‘70s/‘80s there was less plastic packaging overall and we were taught to either not handle glass / metal (i.e. open food cans with sharp edges) containers or to handle them carefully. The overuse of plastic is just egregious and senseless. Because so many consumers dgaf about the environment or public health, we need straight-up bans.

I’ve always despised plastic everything, but never repackaged most items once home due to cost of glass containers - will be doing that now….
When I was young everything was wrapped in paper, waxed paper, and glass. No one wanted or liked all the plastic that took over. Paper is far more flexible really, and waxed paper keeps your food fresher, because it folds closed and remains folded. The plastic wrappers will unfold as soon as you fold them. Then the plastic never deteriorates and pollutes everything, where the paper will quickly deteriorate. The glass bottles were returnable, sterilized, and used again. The caps were either made from waxed cardboard for say jugs of milk or orange juice, and metal lids often made from coated tin were see on evertelse. It’s time to return to the old methods. Would be nice to have milk, orange juice, and butter delivered one to 2 times a week again as well. JS.

The point of the fda is to provide security. Security is a feeling, it can’t be measured.
The fda is only there to give the illusion of safety. Most things e we eat are “gras” generally recognized as safe. Corps isolate a chemical in some food, and then writes a letter to the fda telling them that the chemical is safe because it’s not known to cause any problems when eaten in food, and then the fda says, “great.

But there’s no testing.

this appears to be the plan.... get a large percentage of the population barely able to get by causing them to buy cheap, polluted food, thereby assuring profits elsewhere.
that's the plan
Believe it or not, it’s significantly cheaper to buy raw vegetables, dry grains etc. and prepare your own food at home, than it is to eat pre-packaged and factory-prepared brand-name products (artificial matrix-food). For instance, a pack of tortillas costs ~$5, for maybe 18 tortillas with preservatives baked in to make up for the fact that they were baked weeks or months ago - and the pack comes in plastic, of course. A bag of flour costs ~$3 and just add water and pour the mixture on a hot griddle, and that one paper bag of flour might make 75 tortillas! Plus, they’ll be warmly fresh-fried each time you make them. And it doesn’t take long: 15 minutes maybe, to heat a frying pan, stir flour and water and fry fresh, delicious flatbread wraps. That’s just one example among countless others. Cooking your own food is amazingly cheap if you use common sense and remember the basic, easy kitchen skills known to all of human history until about 50 years ago. And what’s even cheaper, and also way easier than we’ve been trained to believe, is to sprinkle some seeds in the ground,give them water and sun, and thank Nature for causing beautiful foods to spring forth from the dirt: and so incomparably sweeter and more delicious/nutritious than sad, depleted supermarket vegetables.

I just saw a related news story about them finding microplastics in arteries and the presence of them being associated with higher risk of stroke and heart attack.
Enough of the plastic!! Consumers don’t want plastic!!!
How do we survive ourselves??
We are our own worst enemy. I’ve said it a million times it is ironically our own intelligence that will end up killing us all. We do and create things that seem smart yet not fully understand all of the ramifications of it until it’s too late.
People hate on the 50s but back then they used way less plastic.
I respect this being shared. Now maybe people will listen and even taught me something about that produce bag. I'll continue to use the paper. Thanks for this update.
When I was growing up,the grapes were all spread out, and you’d weigh how many you wanted and put them in a bag. Of course now, they make reusable produce bags, but grapes are now preselected and sold in plastic bags. This also leads to food waste. Also, it’s ridiculous that potatoes are sold wrapped securely in plastic - one by one. I wish foods like tomatoes and beans were sold in glass or cans - no plastic. The foods worst for our body are also worst for the planet.
Even cans are not good, they contain endocrine disruptors
Find a new store
@@amypola5903 where do you shop where produce is never sold in plastic?
@@melissanasser9777 thankfully many have stopped lining with BPA.
@@dawnkeckley7502 At Farmer's Markets.
So, what's the coating inside cans made of?
BPA, usually...
Some form of BPA which probably has plasticizers as well. Both are problematic.
BPA is often replaced with something that’s just as bad or worse than bpa.
@@stevethevlogger Yes, there are hundreds of variations on BPA that are just as harmful or more so. We can readily count on Big Business to deceive us all at every turn. And political leadership is real happy to turn a blind eye every single time to keep their campaign donations flowing. Without organizations like Consumer Reports and others, we would still be in the dark about so many things.
Thank you for the important info
Omg. Thank you for this.
Reporting it without a solution is like milking a dead cow.
Will FDA be suing these companies ?
How, they lobe in White House. There lot money in place honey.
Great stuff, never stop researching on things of this nature! 🔥
Just because it's small doesn't mean it's less harmless, asbestos is deadly because it's so small!
That's what it is called Enshittification
Oshitification.
Ok, Lahey 😂
FDA IS DOING THEIR JOB RIGHT .SO FDA DEMING IT SAFE SUE THE FDA!!!!!!!
captured entities
People need to stop baking with and putting plastics in the microwave as well. What are they thinking?
I know, our environment is the cause of all sickness; inflammation,allergies, cancer, arthritis, you name it etc. it’s hard to avoid it because we’re living here on it, there’s no escape,water, pollutions the food we eat. All I can say is that, live to the fullest!
Toys? How about removing them from our food supply?
Give a solution 😊Then they raise the price of product for healthier materials 🤦♀️
Right? It costs me more money to buy cream, yogurt, and cottage cheese, for example, that don’t have emulsifiers and gums!
Baby boomers survived plastic and so shall we. Just be conscious of what you're eating and do your best.
Thank you for making us aware of this
Thanks for this.
Wow there’s nothing we can do
