went through this report. here’s what i found fascinating (horrific?): - RXBARS (which i never ate bc they always got stuck in my teeth) has the highest level of DEHP, a liquid used to make PVC softer and more flexible - one (just one!!) boba tea from Boba Guys has the equivalent of 1.2 years of safe daily BPA consumption; commonly used in plastic and epoxy and an endocrine disruptor - Diet Coke and Whole Foods organic chicken breast had the highest levels of BBP, a phthalate, often used to make plastics and banned in kids toys and cosmetics; the chicken threw me through a loop — could be due to packaging, processing equipment, chicken feed, etc. - both Straus and Clover Organic Whole Milk had the highest levels of DMP, commonly used as insect repellent; makes sense if it is used against livestock flies on cows, but still bad - hot food in a takeout container had 5x the amount of DIBP compared to the same exact food served straight on a plate; DIBP is low volatility plasticizer

Half my health problems disappear in Japan. I’m convinced the American food supply chain is poisoned and it’s slowly killing us. I’ve been back for a handful of days, cooking all my own food and I feel like shit all over again.

yes, there’s probably lots more sugar and processing in America vs other countries I know the new admin is controversial but I am excited for some of the FDA and food/bev industry revamp for this reason

For my previous job I went to the US once or twice per year for a week. Near the end of that week my stomach would be upset in a weird way.

Every time I go to America I feel shit when i eat most of the foods. I reazlied the only way to get over it is to walk however long it takes to a super market and stock up on fruits&veggies, and bring my own oats... Better to eat oatmeal for a week than whatever the other stuff is 😂

thank you pichi for this observation! this is what I surmise even though I haven’t really traveled outside of the US. at one point I was on 7 different medications. thank goodness for waking up from that madness. food and chemicals are going to be worked on soon. 🫶
