The food you buy probably has plastic in it.
Consumer Reports is back with another sobering investigation into the bisphenols and phthalates — chemicals known as plasticizers — in common supermarket and fast foods. CR found that despite growing evidence that these chemicals ain’t too great for your health, they were found “in almost every food” at high levels.
The report is a good read into how these chemicals get into our food, what it means, and what’s being done about it. Personally, I’m mourning that Wendy’s crispy chicken nuggets have a whopping 33,980 phthalates per serving.
