Does food actually still exist that doesn't have forever chemicals or plastic in it? Our environment is just pollution at this point.

The second option.

It's in the water. No food compatible with Earth lifeforms are made without water.

Why are pfas in pesticides?

Is it just me that finds the term "forever chemical" completely meaningless? I have no idea what is trying to be conveyed except something fear inducing.

As far as I understand it’s just chemicals that don’t decompose (within a reasonable timespan), meaning they may stay in your body forever, which is usually a bad thing.

May contain microplastics and Jim's penis residue.

[–] GhostPain@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Pretty certain there is always penis residue in European cereal products.

Which may explain some things. I don't know what things. But some things.
