If only plastic utensils and other plastic one-use expendables had never been taken as good idea in the first place

I think many health problems are related to not a few single causes, but to a cocktail of problems, some chemical, other purely lifestyle(sleep, food, exercise).

It's humbling how much AND little we know about processes in the body. Just read the article and comments some days ago about antidepressants. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26197140

Except most babies seem to be fine, so maybe the fear is overblown?

I think it should be kept in check, as it seems all sorts of nasty stuff can be mixed into plastic. But many plastics seem to be fine.

There is also poisonous stuff in plants, including wood.

I mean, people probably said the same thing about leaded gasoline. Just because things are “fine” doesn’t mean they’re ideal.
