As such, Ziploc bags are alleged to be “fundamentally unfit for microwave and freezer use” despite their labeling, which has been “leading consumers to believe they are fit to be microwaved and frozen without risk of microplastics leaching into their food.” Consumers may have “unwittingly exposed themselves and their families to undisclosed microplastics during routine kitchen practices,” per the filing.
As the Ziploc lawsuit asserts, even consumers doing their best to avoid exposure to microplastics can be lulled into a “false sense of security” by purportedly misleading labels.
Who would microwave a ziplock bag? Freezer, sure, but microwave?
I’m giving up at this point. I truly believe we’re in the fuck you and everything you love timeline
Maybe i died two years ago and this is just purgatory. Would you guys tell me if i died two years ago?
I know it’s tough. Apparently I was ahead of the curve of most people and hit where you are at over a decade ago — with everybody around me and online calling me paranoid for thinking corporations/et. al are making people sick through their greed and apathy.
Corporations surely have known this stuff is harmful for a long time – but all they care about is selling a viable, cheap, scalable product, and marketing it to the masses to achieve wild success.
It gets better, I promise. Glass is my personal answer to plastic.
Control what you can, don’t spiral into hopelessness, and advocate for real regulation and higher standards for corporations — so they can’t simply go to market with harmful or toxic products.
Ah shit. Im in purgatory arnt i
Reality and your experience is what you make it. If you ever need a chat, I’m here.
Thanks man. I’m ok. Just joking around. Appreciate the kindness though!
No, we still need your labour and the line must go up.
Yea. Of course… Line. Must. Go. Up.
The line. Must.go.up. The line. Must. Go up. Up. Up. Up. Up.
And show some hustle out there, Sisyphus.
I can’t decide if “you died two years ago and this is all purgatory” would be good or bad news at this point.
Shit. This means I’m still alive.
I would absolutely tell you if you were in purgatory.
And as I said to a friend who thought he was dead while tripping on acid, “If you were in purgatory, there is no way you’d think me up, because I’m way too delightful to be in someone else’s purgatory.”
You’re a good friend
Or maybe you’ve been in purgatory since you were born?
That’d be a crazy childhood
Pull it from the freezer and thaw it in the microwave
/s
Definitely not me heating up corn tortillas
Wrap them in a damp paper towel instead when you microwave them.
Go to the frozen vegetables at your grocery store and tell me what all of the “steam fresh” bags are made of.
Before I read this, I wasn’t aware of any reason not too. If I put meat in a bag to freeze it, I’d put the entire bag in the microwave if I needed to thaw it quickly.
