I assumed the contamination took place during processing, not growing. I could be wrong.

I suspect it is select plants grown in lead-contaminated soil (not sure why entire ranges are contaminated, maybe most major growing regions are contaminated for certain plants?). Idk how they’d work lead into the chopping/drying process (but I do believe they could if it saved $0.0043/kilogram)

Could be that the places spices are grown have more contamination than other foods

Guessing it's the same way some veggies are rich in calcium or whatever, they are more prone to uptake certain elements.

Ginger seems to uptake lead, too.

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.

500000 * 0 = 0

I was just replying tongue-in-cheek to this, though I really do have the cups.

Doesn't it need to be soldered somewhere at the top between the inner and outer walls?

Thanks!
