"greaseproof pizza boxes, carryout containers, fast-food wrappers, and paperboard packaging"
So basically everything used to wrap fast-food is toxic. Buying yourself some glass tupperware containers and cooking at home, or eating-in at a restaurant with ceramic plates, seem like the only solutions.
The longer-term solution is for Governments to create a 'whitelist' of chemicals allowed for domestic use. We cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with endless chemical varieties which all turn out to eventually be toxic.
You'll love the cast iron. I bet you never want to cook in anything else. Bonus: you get your daily dose of iron just from eating the food cooked in it.
It was easy enough for Congress to pass the Federal Analogue Act because drugs. DuPont has a lot of money to pay for lobbyists.
It’s incredibly frustrating, because they’re doing this chemical shuffle right out in the open and the government isn’t doing shit about it. They’ve been bad faith actors for decades, so when they come out with something new, they should be forced to pay for independent testing with open results.
And DuPont knows the shoe is dropping for some of their older chemicals, that’s why they spun off Chemours: it gets all the IP and the problematic history, so if the government ever does get its shit together, Chemours goes bankrupt and DuPont stays solvent. It’s maddening.
