Comment on I have lost faith in almost *EVERY* vaccine
iamtanmay@wolfballs.com 2 years agoIn Asia, this is a much bigger problem, because the farmers are more bad at overusing these things.
In primary school, govt textbooks teach kids how to check for pesticides, if there is some mixing of substitutes to make $$ etc. Getting scammed on food in Asia, is a real problem.
Same in Africa. There they often have 'plastic' mixed in with rice
Everyone needs to be careful where they get their food from.

Yeah, contaminants such as melamine are a bad problem. It is one thing to make plates out of the stuff, but adding it in as fake protein can damage the kidneys and liver.

Yes, a lot of deaths and shorter avg life expectancy is due to these inhumane methods to make $$

I have some thoughts about environmental concerns too. Things like rice, casein (isolated milk protein), and even silk could be used to make disposable cups. So you don't get possible toxins leaking out of styrofoam, and these items are, in worse cases, edible. Silk won't taste that good, but it is supposedly harmless to ingest.

Silk is biodegradable inside the human body. It was used for dissolving sutures. It can cause immune responses in some sensitive people, just like almost anything.
Eating it may be ok, in the sense that it won't go into your blood and trigger a response. Don't know what it would do to your gut.
