Fast Food Wrappers Contain Toxic Chemicals

Those wrappers from the burger and fries you got at the Fast Food place or that bag of popcorn you microwaved, maybe contributing to elevated levels of a toxic substance in your body. New research at the University of Toronto shows that perfluoroalkyls, synthetic chemicals that repel oil, grease, and water are showing up in blood tests of people who eat this type of food. These chemicals are used for surface protection in products such as carpet and clothing treatments and coating for paper and cardboard packaging.

So think twice before you order anything from a fast food joint. Are you poisoning yourself? Also stop using microwave popcorn, and buy pure popcorn and use a different container to microwave it or pop it on the stove, like in the old days...

It really pisses me off that these chemical companies continue to devise things that poison us. The chemicals mentioned here have no nutritional value at all, aren't required to process or cook the food you eat. They are simply added to packaging to prevent grease from spreading.

There are hundreds if not thousands of man-made chemicals introduced into our food supply unnecessarily. Some are to preserve the shelf-life of food so they can sit in your grocery store for months or years without decay. Again adding nothing in terms of nutrition or to the quality of food. Instead these chemicals lower our life expectancy, give us terrible diseases, and only exist because they make some huge multinational companies an extra penny here and there. And people suffer for this the rest of their lives...

And people want LESS control and regulation of companies?

 

You crack me up! I thought you'd be feeding the rats to your cats!

 

You'll notice this story has not made it on MSM. God forbid they would report on something that might upset their advertisers, like Fast Food companies...

Isn't it AMAZING how the MSM can completely bury a story, in unison? Like they still get marching orders and talking points everyday like when Dick Cheney was in charge of America.

Either a story is plastered all over the MSM ad nauseum, or its completely covered up with not a single outlet reporting it.

How is that possible?

 

Uh, yeah! They've been BRED to party! That's why they love 'em in the labs. The rats beg for more and more drugs!

Rat: "How many more damn times do I have to push that level before you gonna give me some more coke? Gimme, gimme, gimme more!"

 

I've known a few "pigs" who like to party...

 

I recently bought two new electric space heaters at Wallyworld. After several weeks of leaving them outside, running occasionally, I still had to bring them back due to the terrible plastic smell emanating from them (even when they were off!).

One of the heaters was a unit I'd purchased before and it was fine. But evidently they'd changed the quality of the plastic used in the casing, and the new plastic reeked of chemical smell that wouldn't go away.

So I brought both of them back and got a metal Delonghi oil filled heater that doesn't smell and saves energy (no fan!).

I can't believe the inferior materials being used by companies in China, and I worry about the poor workers who must inhale these fumes day in and day out while making these products. Then I also worry about naive consumers who buy these products and don't concern themselves with the smell - and may even put such products in their nursery for their babies....

If you can smell plastic, you are inhaling/ingesting toxic chemicals that may kill you one day!!!

BTW, the company with the shitty heaters is called Lasko. They've had numerous recalls before. If the products smells when you get it, return it! It's the only way for these companies to learn what is unacceptable in the marketplace.
