Just thinking about how it seems like we are just starting to realize the full magnitude of how bad plastics are both for the environment and for human health%20and%20reduced%20fertility.)

Also thinking about the studies showing that cooking with gas stoves can be extremely bad for you.

What are some things you know about that aren't widely known to have similar ill effects?

    "PFOA has been detected in the blood of more than 98% of the general US population"

    PFOA and PFOS are extremely persistent in the environment and resistant to typical environmental degradation processes. [They] are widely distributed across the higher trophic levels and are found in soil, air and groundwater at sites across the United States. The toxicity, mobility and bioaccumulation potential of PFOS and PFOA pose potential adverse effects for the environment and human health.

    PFOA and its relatives. literally in everything you can think of. food, water, air, dust. and you too.
