How am I supposed to keep track of things like this? Between all the chemicals, boycotts, etc etc etc I don't know how I'm supposed to use any modern product again. (Or primitive product, for that matter.) It's honestly driven me to apathy. I just don't have the bandwidth to worry about it.

I just take some sheets of aluminum foil, fold them into a hat, and then jump inside and hide from the world.

Make all your own food. Even then, the crops are all loaded with Roundup and who knows what all else.

A high-fibre diet is supposed to help, as fibre can absorb toxins. To what extent I don't know. So, make your own sourdough wholewheat bread. And eat plenty of greens like broccoli, cabbage . I guess the greens are sprayed with stuff too though. As is the wheat in the bread. The fibre might counteract the effects of the sprays somewhat.

Greens I believe absorb more heavy metals.

Haven't some studies found that donating plasma helps scrub your blood?

Don’t forget about all the dihydrogen monoxide in everything these days.
