I wonder how many different "scientists" missed the simple #math error in #MeganLiu's study that caused an unjustified panic over #BlackPlasticUtensils.

Oh look. Their organization is called #ToxicFreeFuture.

This is why I favor meritocracy instead of #SocialJustice or #DEI.

All I notice is that obnoxious habit of mashing words together and putting a tic-tac-toe sign in front of some of them.

They do that with all the environmental studies...

I remember back in the 70s Ca did a study that claimed milk causes cancer. When it was published it destroyed the dairy industry. Turns out a couple years later they admitted it might cause cancer if you drink milk everyday for 350 years. Who lives that long? They had purposely hid that little detail.

I’m still waiting for an example proving used motor oil causes cancer. They haven’t proved that study yet either.

I went to all stainless years ago. The only plastic utensils I have are spatulas. I use wood or stainless. Some are from my grandmother who said wood was easier to keep bacteria from forming if kept clean and dry.
