The diet; the microplastics that you eat, drink and breathe; the endocrine disruptors that you huff from your home’s PCB-finished wood floor, or dishwasher detergent buildup inside you; extremely hygienic environments which make for overeager immune systems; pollution; the pesticides that Monsanto assured you are totally safe and go great with their proprietary genemodded sterile cereals which they also assure are totally safe; the near-eternal organofluorides you get exposed to because there’s a chemical plant 100km upriver with a gung-ho attitude towards waste disposal, and all the slightly scratched Teflon pans you kept using because it’s fine; or the trillion other things we’re doing to fuck up just about literally everything that lives anywhere on this planet, including our own sorry asses

I eat highland raised beef, fed entirely on their pasture, so probably very little pesticide or gene edited cereals
It’s only national parks uphill, upstream, from them
I use cast iron to cook, I dislike plastic cooking tools, so I use pans that can tolerate steel.
I drink from glass almost exclusively and I donate plasma, which is probably the only way of getting rid of PFAS chemicals (the “forever chemicals”)
You and I have heard the same stories. I follow “better to be safe than sorry”
I really care about food
Oh don’t forget about asbestos
