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

Why would anyone learn if they didnāt to? Itās not really the fault of individuals who donāt know any better when society isnāt going out itās way to teach them such skills. Hell, I didnāt 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 Iām 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, itās 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, itās 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 itās critical to better regulate, to hold companies accountable for the damage theyāve done, bring them to justice for impact on public health and coverups, etc ā¦. And thatās not just unlikely but really impossible
