ginger and thyme are full of lead too rule
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
bad news bears a ton of spices are full of lead (consumer reports has some info but it’s partially paywalled) so is that 1984 Garfield mug and most fiber sources and anything brightly colored from before 1978 (4 yrs after women were allowed to get credit cards in their name) and many water bottles with a vacuum sealed interior due to leaded solder or some shit
That's what I thought and so last weekend I bought a bunch of grow bags because I rent and so investing in raised beds didn't make sense. Then I learned that my new grow bags are made of polypropylene and will likely be contaminating the food I grow with micro plastics.
But even if I found a good alternative (I've tried without much luck), I learned that the water, air, and soil available to me is already very likely contaminated with all sorts of pollutants considering I live near an airport.
Long story short, we're fucked.
