Fast food or PFAS food?
Proxy poisoning? Is the weaponization of straws the last straw?
Help others wake up with this excellent movie based on the real David-Golliath story of one lawyer against DuPont (now merged with Dow):

Interview of Robert Bilott (the real lawyer):
PFAS are toxic “forever chemicals” which are not biodegradable 1 and are perfect for depopulation poisoning: decrease fertility, cause preeclampsia and low birth weight, affect growth, increase cholesterol and blood pressure, ruin the liver2, cause immune suppression, thyroid disease, kidney and testicular cancer. 3
Since the 1950s, it is known PFAS are toxic, yet only in 2019, Denmark was the first country to ban some of them, not all of them! Why do governments still back this poison after nearly a century of knowing its danger? Corruption or planned depopulation? 4
Feb 2017. Half of paper wrappers (grease-resistant burger wrappers and pastry bags) and 20% of paper boxes (boxes fries and pizza) contained fluorine, a proxy for PFAS treatment.5
May 2019 study showed worse: 2/3 of paper takeout packaging and 11% of bakery papers. 6
“The use of PFAS in food packaging such as ‘compostable’ bowls represents a regrettable substitution of single-use plastic food packaging.”7
Of all the disposable plastic products we use, straws share the least amount in tons. Why did the green-commies focus on straws and not in the disposable plastic bottles, which have 20x more plastic? The USA uses 500 million straws per day but that is less than half of plastic bottles.
Considering straws go straight to your mouth, they could be turned into bio-weapons, even more, if plastic is replaced by paper, which is more porous and can be loaded with trojan poisons like PFAS .
PFAS was found8 in:
90% of paper straws
80% of bamboo straws
75% of plastic straws
40% of glass straws
0% of stainless steel straws
This level of contamination is not explicable by trees or bamboo growing in PFAS contaminated land: plastic and glass doesn’t “grow” on farmland. PFAS is added in the manufacturing process.
Why was there a global war on plastic straws? Like so many global actions, it’s clear that it wasn’t quixotic environmentalists but masons funding and coordinating individuals, organizations and politicians. 9
Was Dupont’s PFAS poisoning through manufacturing Teflon deliberate? PFASed food goes directly to your mouth, just like straws.
Bans are tricky: they don’t ban all the PFAS family. Next-generation chemicals used in nonstick cookware share a similar structure and behave like the banned PFAS ! 10
Are they going to wait another 75 years to prove it?

Make junk food healthy again!
As chemical testing accuracy gets more and more precise at extremely small amounts, chemical contamination is shown, but is the reality of this contributing ill health to consumers or is this just fear porn?
