If black utensils are the thing that takes me down, so be it. Something's going to get me.

Yes, you should.

There’s so much out there that “could” be harmful and it’s impossible to address it all. But I think focusing on your kitchen/food makes sense since you eat 3x/day, every day, so changes there make a big difference.

Over time, get kid of all your plastic and non-stick stuff. Opt for steel and wood utensils, glass containers, cast iron, steel, and ceramic cookware. Look at where everything was made and if coatings were used.

Dont microwave plastic or place it in the dishwasher.

Well that's the thing. If these are dangerous, why aren't they regulated now?

You are naive.

Most of what we have been exposed to has never been tested on humans. Certainly not over decades. I think chemical exposures and plastics are why adults are now developing cancers at younger ages.

Capitalist countries don’t require any such testing for most consumer products (see social media).

Right, now that Dr Fauci was nearly felled by a mosquito from his backyard (in Bethesda)…I . Just. Can’t.

I threw most of mine away. I recently began using only stainless steel steel or cast iron or ceramic.
The USA doesn’t really regulate these. There’s enough valid research out there to scare me.

I feel that way too sometimes. But on the other hand if there's overwhelming evidence and it's a relatively easy change I'll consider it.

I can't worry about more thing.

I didn't see a thread on this- sorry if there is one. Should I be worried?
I guess I'll start a thread in the food forum on what to buy instead.
