Comment on We poisoned the whole planet so our eggs wouldn't stick to the pan 🙃

  Look it’s not my fault people didn’t get an opportunity to learn these skills because they were instead sold cheap, poisonous bullshit. Why would anyone learn if they didn’t to? It’s not really the fault of individuals who don’t know any better when society isn’t going out it’s way to teach them such skills. Hell, I didn’t learn this until I was in my early thirties, because my parents had used teflon all while I was growing up.

  But, please, read it more as me thinking I’m better than everyone else rather than someone who got lucky enough to learn these skills eventually.

    While I agree and have switched to cast iron and stainless steel, it’s not enough. No pfas were used in the manufacturing of my cookware, plus I expect to save money by never having to replace it. However the documentary starts showing how ubiquitous the chemicals are and for how many uses. While we all absolutely need better cookware choices, it’s only a drop in the bucket of so many consumer and industrial products.

    Our part includes increased awareness and better choices for many things we come into contact with every day. However it’s critical to better regulate, to hold companies accountable for the damage they’ve done, bring them to justice for impact on public health and coverups, etc …. And that’s not just unlikely but really impossible

    Did you read the article? Have you tested your ground & drinking water? If you do drink water then you are at risk. Pans are not the problem, firefighting foams & industrial leaks are.

  Literally a minute of googling. Takes more to make up arguments why youd still use a pan that kills you and has built in planned obsolesce.

    hello friend, the pan doesnt kill you. there is no PFOA in the pan you buy and is used to cook the food you buy in a restaurant, which you’ve done hundreds and hundreds of times. its the production of the material on the pan that produces the anti-life compounds.

    we don’t get cancer from using nonstick pans, we get cancer from the PFOA in the groundwater that was made during the production process.

    it takes literally a minute of googling, but thank you for the condescending message, couldn’t have lived without it

      Ingesting teflon particles is bad for you and all the studies assume you are not scraping your teflon pan when in reality the teflon coating DOES flake off over use and following the procedures manufacturers tell you to, thus you are ingesting teflon flakes wether you like it or not.
