Holy shit people - 300,000 a year deaths. That is more than Covid

When I grew up (UK), in the 60's and 70's most foods and drinks came in tins or glass containers, and meals were prepared from fresh ingredients.

Our bodies run on chemicals and the number of cases of cancers and allergies these days is rife. I would say plastics would have to be considered as one factor, as well as all the crap they put in food towards people's consumption of chemicals.

I consume drinks from cans and I avoid as much processed factory food where I can. If folk want to drink from plastic, eat ready-made factory meals etc.. their choice.

In some ways it’s amazing any of us reach old age, considering the toxic load we’ve all been exposed to.
