no offense to older people in chat, but why do so many older USonians try to overuse appliances or reusable containers with worn out plastic in contact with food?
is this a worldwide issue? my hypothesis was they got introduced to them as wonder materials of the future. even plastic sponges get reused when they clearly have molecule-deep filth in every crevasse
I really think a lot of it is that people aren’t aware of how dangerous this stuff is. And when they are aware, they often write it off as “fear-mongering”.
I think a lot of older US Americans don’t want to acknowledge how shitty everything is right now largely thanks to capitalism. Admitting that this whole system sucks - a system that they have benefited tremendously from their whole lives - probably feels akin to renouncing a religion to them.
i'm going to find a way to get this thought in there with my inlaws like Inception but it will make sense like if John Woo directed it. i know nothing where it's like i'm correcting other people's behavior will work i just insisted i knew how & when to clean polycarbonate coffee machines and dispensers from working in kitchens
