Try and grow at least some of your own food. If you can at least cut down on the amount of plastic being consumed, you're still better off than most. You don't need a huge garden, many get by with a balcony to grow leafy greens and herbs (which are among the best for ridding your body of other toxins too). Plus, you can add a range of perennial plants to your garden so you don't have to work so hard at growing your own. Ostrich ferns for fiddleheads, red-leaved sorrel (not if you are susceptible to kidney stones), look into Day Lilies for edible species (these are nice in a stir fry. I cook the flower buds this way or add them to salad, where they have an egg-like taste. Also, the new Spring shoots are edible, and the tubers are too apparently). Perennial celery. Claytonia is great in damp, shady spots. Ransoms or Wild Garlic grows easily in damp soil. Bramble tips and nettle tops are good mixed into a curry or stew, the latter fine if stir fried sufficiently. Forced dandelions. Fuchsia fruits are like watery cherries, and hardy fuchsia bushes can grow pretty tall, loading themselves with berries. The more you look, the more good food you can grow with ease and all plastic free..

It's impossible to know what caused your cancer. But there's a million factors. Even natural ones. But most people just take their doctors advice even though they literally want you to keep coming back, that's how they earn a living. They love prescribing drugs and treatments until you're gone and they have no use from you anymore. So they tell us don't eat meat, eat whole grains. Don't eat fat, that's bad for you, eat low fat foods high in sugar. Don't eat eggs and bacon which are basically super foods, eat bread, pasta, and other foods low in nutrients or nutrients you cannot even absorb. Don't just worry about plastic, worry about what they are telling you to eat. The food, medical and pharma industries are all in the same business. And look in to the Oreo vs Statins study.

We’ve been ‘lifted out of poverty’ aye? 100 years ago, the average common peasant owned (or had access and the right to cultivate) land enough to grow the vast majority of sustenance for oneself and kinfolk. Average folks would usually have at least a few items made from gold and silver (perhaps an heirloom set of silver plates, cups, dining utensils - a gold stopwatch, belt buckle or cuff links.. an ornately-carved jewelry box, hand-fashioned with artisan-pride and passed down through generations; its gilded lock and corresponding skeleton-key click open the latch, revealing a modest & cherished jewelry-cache: a ring, a brooch, a locket on a necklace chain - just a few things, but they’re things of real, lasting value, made with precious metals and gemstones..). The average work-a-day peasant of our modern, plastic-poisoned world has such an abundance of possessions that it causes a nuisance and eyesore, but what, if any of that stuff has true, universal value, which will still be viable after centuries? And not only did the good folks of the old world, before we ruined everything, have more autonomous prosperity and possessions made to last, with quality craftsmanship and materials, they also had an invaluable wealth of practical knowledge for self-sufficiency, as well as deep generational interconnection and awareness of ancestral lineage. People today are so impoverished, spiritually and mentally - many of us wouldn’t even know why such a thing has value and importance. Modern folks can’t tell glitter from gold.. and many of us will never own a house. We don’t have wealth, we have debt-slavers and piles of poorly made trash that we payed too much for and that won’t last more than 5 years, if that..

@@marcuslinton310your probably right with cold or room temperature plastics, but how about hot plastic. It’s been known for years that heating up foods in plastic is a bad idea. It causes the plastic to off gas chemicals. Fact. They actually use heat to expand water bottles when filling them. I’ve seen local grocery stores restocking their hot soups with large Hot plastic bags! Just a couple examples,but there’s plenty more. How about K- Cups? The idea of hot water running through that plastic cup for your coffee. Can’t be good.

@@johngrasso1483 Unless the plastic is melting, it's unlikely to leach any worse then it normally would. 120F is PET limits and microwaves heat the food, not the container, the container only gets hot from being in contact with the food so it's unlikely to reach it's melting point. Nobody uses plastics in ovens or on stoves. IE, plastic spatulas would never reach that temp when used properly. I'm hardly a scientist, though. But think about all of this with some common sense, right? There are watchdogs everywhere out there and if this was really a severe concern, it would have been receiving way more constant attention then it has. The way they like to keep people in fear is to suggest the constant build up of these chemicals in our bodies, but think about that for a second. We need to eat constantly because our body uses up nutrients and expels waste. Our body doesn't "build up" or "store" anything but fat. All the other 12 chemicals get used up and needs restocked via food. So, although these chemicals aren't the best thing for us, we do not "build up" an excess unless we are heavily exposed for some reason to a lethal dose. Similar to how all these recreational drugs work. They don't build up in the system over years and years, every single druggie would be dying from lethal doses at some point, far less then years, more like a few weeks or months at best. But they don't die because the drug gets used up and expelled instead of building up. If you ever seen a typical hit of most drugs, there is WAY more in that one hit then the few nanograms these people are talking about over a matter of even years. So the little amount we deal with on a daily basis is easily expelled by our system just like all the other environmental hazards we face every day from exhaust fumes, gas fumes, general CO2 from daily breathing, on and on.

When I was young everything was wrapped in paper, waxed paper, and glass. No one wanted or liked all the plastic that took over. Paper is far more flexible really, and waxed paper keeps your food fresher, because it folds closed and remains folded. The plastic wrappers will unfold as soon as you fold them. Then the plastic never deteriorates and pollutes everything, where the paper will quickly deteriorate. The glass bottles were returnable, sterilized, and used again. The caps were either made from waxed cardboard for say jugs of milk or orange juice, and metal lids often made from coated tin were see on evertelse. It’s time to return to the old methods. Would be nice to have milk, orange juice, and butter delivered one to 2 times a week again as well. JS.

It's kind of hard to avoid plastics when they are everywhere. We should ban plastics. It's about time we did it. people are wondering why cancer is becoming more common in people under 50 years old and I know that it's because of this (and probably the glyphosate being sprayed on wheat. It's not crazy to know that these chemicals cause cancer and (quite possibly) autism, but most people are unaware of how exposed they are. You can eat the best diet in the world (no processed foods) and you're still being exposed. These chemicals are also in your soil and your water supply. Big corporations refuse to take them out of basic everyday products (such as soap, shampoo, and many other things).

Believe it or not, it’s significantly cheaper to buy raw vegetables, dry grains etc. and prepare your own food at home, than it is to eat pre-packaged and factory-prepared brand-name products (artificial matrix-food). For instance, a pack of tortillas costs ~$5, for maybe 18 tortillas with preservatives baked in to make up for the fact that they were baked weeks or months ago - and the pack comes in plastic, of course. A bag of flour costs ~$3 and just add water and pour the mixture on a hot griddle, and that one paper bag of flour might make 75 tortillas! Plus, they’ll be warmly fresh-fried each time you make them. And it doesn’t take long: 15 minutes maybe, to heat a frying pan, stir flour and water and fry fresh, delicious flatbread wraps. That’s just one example among countless others. Cooking your own food is amazingly cheap if you use common sense and remember the basic, easy kitchen skills known to all of human history until about 50 years ago. And what’s even cheaper, and also way easier than we’ve been trained to believe, is to sprinkle some seeds in the ground,give them water and sun, and thank Nature for causing beautiful foods to spring forth from the dirt: and so incomparably sweeter and more delicious/nutritious than sad, depleted supermarket vegetables.
