    There is so much in our food that isn't food it's disturbing. We've had to change everything about the way we shop in the past few years to find things to eat that are truly food and affordable.

    Well if you are eating organic raised on either coast this is likely you problem.

    PFAS in Biosolids Fertilizer Sparks Damages Lawsuit

    Suit Charges Fertilizer Maker Synagro with Poisoning Farms and Livestock
    peer.org peer.org

    Biosolids being the epa name for human ****. It has been widely adopted, by you guessed it most organic farm operations(it is cheaper than the cattle/hog variety).

    If your organic food was grown in a leftist state you have about a 99% chance of having higher pfas content than those not eating organic. Feel free to join the massive lawsuit(s) and you may want some blood work done.

    the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), pointing out that Maine has outlawed land application of biosolids after more than 60 farms were found to have unsafe levels of PFAS contamination(guess what kind? All but 2 orgainic farms). “This lawsuit against Synagro will likely be the first of many.”

    Hopeful we do what Maine has done.

    Yeah I can't help but notice that suddenly every single person claims to have some kind of allergy or intolerance when 50 years ago people just ate whatever they could get their hands on and were happy to have it.

    You ever meet a Somalian or a Sudanese with a food allergy?

    Things have definitely changed. Whether those changes were the food, or my personal tastes I can't say for certain but I don't think the food sold at the largest food chains in the country even remotely resembles the food they served 20 years ago. I've never been a fast food fanatic but when I was younger there weren't many places around that I wouldn't eat. Now I won't touch most of them. I'll reluctantly eat McDonald's breakfast or a Burger King burger but most of them I'd rather go hungry and wait until a better option comes along. I haven't eaten Taco Bell in over 15 years, used to love Popeye's chicken but it's garbage now and I believe Subway is still serving lettuce which was harvested the year the franchise opened so I avoid that place as well.

    The unfortunate reality in this country is that short of being 100% self sufficient in our food production we are eating and drinking chemicals and fillers and colorings and all sorts of garbage which have no business being ingested by humans. It's all half-food garbage the government lets them pass off as food to maximize profits.

    I have never not regretted eating the convenience choice of McDonalds or BK. I feel worse that I would feel if I'd just skipped the meal most of the time.

    Nothing wrong with my/our food.

    Only allergies here is my wife is allergic to penicillin. I’m not even allergic to poison ivy, oak, sumac. Let alone anything in or on my food.

    And I’d have to try hard to care less about what an Asian comic says about it.

    Could it be your taste buds?

    Foods I used to eat all the time I eat much less of. Other foods I eat now wouldn't touch before.

    Broccoli used to eat a ton of it. Beets I love them now.

    Could be, I mentioned that and it is likely part of it but if we had a time machine and could bring a happy meal from 1985 back and compare it to one today I think we'd all quickly notice significant differences and not for the better. Taco Bell was once far and away my favorite fast food but that was back when they put black olives on a lot of the offerings. If we did the same time machine test with Taco Bell and pulled the labels I'm betting no one would believe they were both from the same source.

    Meh, my whole career has been exposure to chemicals, I would never taste it in my food.

    The PFAS they are talking about are surfactants and recent enough that I can remember their introduction. I used FC-430 from 3M to get chemicals to disperse in water that were problematic with more conventional surfactants. When they were on their way out we were told it was because they did not break down in the environment easily and based on the carbon-fluorine bond I could see why. 3M was looking at making a shorter chain version of 430 but just discontinued it.

    As far as human waste in the food supply, anyone ever spend time in South Korea in the spring? The entire country smells like a sewage treatment plant and the stench comes from the rice paddys.

    China, same way. "Night soil" is what they call it. You have that much **** and that many people to feed, it has to go back as fertilizer or pretty soon you have **** stacked to the sky and starving people.
