    I never put this kind of plastic on the microwave. But I also worry about paper plates, which have some kind of polyethylene coating that is really really hard to find any info about online. Ive fucking eaten cheese that has been boiled on a “paper” plate, only to find that those plates were coated in some kind of polymer.

    By the way, the insides of aluminum cans are coated in plastic.

    Sweet dreams!

      There is plastic in everything you consume now. You can’t get away from it unless you retreat to the wilderness.

        Doubt that’s the case anymore. I’m in the flexible packaging industry and we had to go PFAS free reeeeeal quick. .

        PFAS based processing aids allowed us to run higher quality product at higher production rates with longer machine uptime.

        All for the low low cost of microplastics everywhere all the time.
