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.

Why would anyone learn if they didnât to? Itâs not really the fault of individuals who donât know any better when society isnât going out itâs way to teach them such skills. Hell, I didnât 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 Iâm 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, itâs 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, itâs 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 itâs critical to better regulate, to hold companies accountable for the damage theyâve done, bring them to justice for impact on public health and coverups, etc âŚ. And thatâs not just unlikely but really impossible
