That's true for the average person, but you cannot avoid these plastics in the same way that you can avoid sugar.

Packaging materials are not disclosed on the ingredients list, for example. Few people would know that the insides of drink cans or food tins are coated with plastic.

Buy eggs, vegetables, crops and meat from the butcher. To say it otherwise, avoid processed foods.

The average person doesn’t need to avoid plastics is my point. They are a walking carcinogen already. Eliminating plastics for the average Joe is just rearranging deck chairs on the titanic.
