I don’t know about y’all, but between food quality and food prices I’m basically vegetarian nowadays. (TikTok screencap)

You mean silicone?

And no, it's plastic. If they're cheap ones they're usually a wonderful combination of assorted plastics that happened to be at the Chinese recycling plant that day.

    No, I actually know those kitchen tongs, they are silicone. Have you seen kitchen tongs that look exactly like those, and have felt them to be plastic? Unless you did, they are 100% silicone.

    Also let's not forget that the authors of that study were off by a factor of 10: https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/black-plastic

    Yeah. Even with the amended study their recommendation is avoiding them like the plague as any amount of pthalates and fire retardants in your food is too much.

    You know that exact pair?

    You took this photo? I see black plastic ones often in shops. Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/235276456186

    You'll note that nylon is a type of plastic.

    Further, cooking with silicone is also very likely bad for your health so this is a really odd argument.
