    But they’re not a problem everywhere, they’re a problem of containment at the manufacturer.

    So screw the local environment and the people that live there? If the manufacturer could capture and destroy pfoa’s before release, why havent they done so? If they could and didnt, then they brought the ban unpon themselves.

    This is like arguing “oh, but the oil spill was in a remote part of the ocean and would never effect my house, so keep on drilling baby!”

    Abestos was used for millenias, and was known the miners a thousands years ago would succumb to a mysterious illness after working years in the mines… and it was just banned in the US in checks notes. Last year. Must’ve been big fiberglass behind it!










  • I mean, sure. Not every single calorie you consumed gets absorbed and expelled. Fiber has tons of calories, but our bodies cant digest it so its simply expelled. Its very naunce argument. Thats why i selectively said “enegry dense food” sugars and fats are easily broken down and absorbed. I was not intending you to interpret it as meaning if you eat a gram of uranium, that your body would suddenly gain 18 million calories.


  • Its both. Calorie in. Calorie out. Any calories not used will be stored for later. Keep consuming more than used, than more and more gets stored. The problem with modern diets is food is very enegry dense and a lot of people dont live active lives. Our bodies have not adapted to such lifestyles. Its adapted to survive until the next hunt not the next doordash delivery.
