    It’s always been bad for you. The process to create Teflon pans results in PFAS being released into streams and the atmosphere. Literally just creating the product has poisoned the earth, you don’t need to use it at all. But yes, I stopped buying Teflon stuff too. It’s the only way to reduce demand and manufacturing.

      Not the only way… Maybe we should do something about the “invisible hand” constantly giving us the middle finger

      Fucking Biden, doesn’t he have a dial for poisoning the earth he can turn down a notch next to his making the economy good button?

      You forget that regulation exists. That is the only other option to reduce manufacturing of stuff like this. Relying on the “free” market is usually a bad idea, because in this world there isn’t really anything like a free market. Every market is disproportionately influenced by the people who benefit from the status quo.
