Even our health foods are poisoned with this shit. Amazing. Funniest part is they found higher concentrations of PFAS in the organic kale, further destroying any meaning for that label.
Studies have previously found PFAS in vegetables in fields where sewage sludge was laid as an alternative to fertilizer, and the FDA claimed it had “no indication” of a health threat in PFAS it found in vegetables grown in 2018 near a North Carolina PFAS manufacturing plant.
Why are they allowed to use sewage sludge? What the fuck? Is there anything that’s safe to eat anymore?
there is not
Going to become one of those self-mummified monks, not because I eat a single grain of rice a day but because of all the forever chemicals
i genuinely feel this, news like this makes my eating disorder do backflips
They're referring to milorganite, which yeah is basically treated human waste. To be fair the stuff is great fertilizer if it didn't have the forever chemicals in it and it's kinda wasteful having all that good fertilizer going nowhere
I was under the impression sewer waste is treated with all sorts of harsh chemical stuff. Idk, maybe there’s a way to remove them but it’s probably not profitable enough for porky to consider it.
