Should I throw away everything I own that is plastic? (hexbear.net)

I’m being hyperbolic, but TikTok just re-radicalized me and in ADHD energy mode and I know this urgency won’t last forever. I hate when things I’m around feel contaminated by toxins and I already wear a mask for the polluted air. I hate getting rid of things that might be useful, but also plastics bad so it might be useful. I do have OCD, but this isn’t about that it’s an exaggerated but rational urge. I realize this account’s lib asking you to “vote with your dollar,” but for personal health what do you think? I can afford this eventually. I’m clearly monotropism spiraling but it’s fun.

Also, should we stop recycling plastic if the product will be worse?

your toddler is a moron, litterlay a baby brain, make them eat the roast

(idk maybe try less salt and pureei'ng it, but I'm not a doctor, child-haver, or child educator) )

(again not a child-haver but I think showing them you making the food until they like "get" it would also help, while engaging them in food production which will pay Long Term Dividends (i.e. I cook better than my parents, lol))

He's 22 months bro and they're not supposed to get a lot of salt. He's not gonna sit still and watch me cook for hours prepping meals for the week. I was just joking.
