When you look at your parents’s generation — that ate TV dinners, Jello, Tang, Kraft macaroni, canned sauce, New Coke, eggs off of Teflon pans from Barney’s, modern military rations ready to eat— is more plastic leeching into today’s packaged food? And should we be more concerned about those chemicals and quantities if different compared to impacts on older people? Many of these bigger ticket manufacturers have become more conscious of the leeching risk too, thanks to your work.

Thanks for your research. In my mind I think of the “miracle” of plastic wrap and bottles being used everywhere then and today, while the generation before them probably used more glass and metal packaging with different outcomes... like my grandparents stuck to safe, all natural tobacco accumulation...

Scary to consider. Thanks for the term. I was hoping for happier news…
