No PFAS limits in food

Posted on by

We should be able to depend our government for the protection of our health and safety.  Sadly, many scientists who evaluate the health of foods in the Food & Drug Administration have either left or their findings have been set aside.  The responsibility, more than ever, is on us.  Suggestions afterwards.

When I was a teenager in Detroit, next door to my orthodontist’s office was a White Castle. Their burgers were great!

They’d throw a hamburger patty onto their grill, and slam it flat with a spatula.  Then came an onion patty, also slammed flat with a spatula on top of the burger. Then heavy doses of salt and spices. Teenager heaven!

I think most of us assume that whatever food is on the grocery store shelves is safe to east.

That makes what to buy and eat and what not to buy and eat more problematic than it should be. My comments, afterward, should help.
