Wow, did they show you a bright red shiny plastic thing that didn’t have terrible chemicals in it? Like the one that they ordered from some other country ? no eh? or thick clear flexible plastic like that purse is ? Did they find some that doesn’t have phalates in it? Because that’s how you make thick clear plastic flexible. This was true in the 80s when they made them in America but now they make them in China.
And then the raincoat has. Pfas LMAO that’s how they make all raincoats waterproof. Did they compare it to the raincoat from MEC?
In the 90s, we had that shit in a bottle and we would spray it inside on our shoes to waterproof them. Pure insanity.
People think that things are safe just for no reason just because they are OK they’re safe. Guess what you can’t make a raincoat waterproof and light and cheap without putting dangerous shit on it. Go get your oil, skin jacket and then wax it there you go safe.
They fluorinate the machines that package your food because the food taste better after four months in the fluorinated container and fuck you they’re never gonna change

- exmadscientist 2y agoThey don't "fluorinate the machines" but they sure as hell do use fluropolymer liners for cans and containers and such. It's usually PFA Teflon (alkoxy) but it is fluorinated nonetheless.
- idunnoman1222 2y agoYes pfas is a lubricant used in all factories including food factories and they florinate the large plastic food barrells they put all our food in
- ouddv 2y ago> that’s how they make all raincoats waterproof. Nearly every major outdoor clothing manufacturer is making rain-gear without PFAS. Patagonia, The North Face, Arcteryx, Helly Hansen, Columbia, and Fjallraven (just to name a few) all offer a variety of PFAS-free raingear. This has been an ongoing effort for 10 or 15 years at this point; with a lot of progress occurring in the last few years, as the PFAS-free DWR chemistries have reached parity for most use cases.
- hollerith 2y agoDWR == durable water repellent.
- idunnoman1222 2y agoGORE-TEX ePE Is like 2 years old there’s like five raincoats with this technology and they’re fucking $500 and nobody has them except for some out of touch, coastal elites. and you have to spray more often with hippy dwr which is made of just shorter pfas, im sure thats much better lmao
- ouddv 2y agoThere are at least a dozen of these coatings, and you can get em on $99 jackets. You can also get em on purpose built hunting jackets that no “coastal elite” is wearing. You can be as rude you want. Your original claim remains incorrect, as are your follow-on claims.
- idunnoman1222 2y agoDid you just move the goalpost to talking about waterproof coatings that come from China because that’s not what the articles about 99% of all rain jackets for the last 50 years are waterproofed with pfas, that’s not a failing of China and changing the waterproofing for a shorter chained PFAS is probably a good direction( unless you have to use 100 times more over the lifetime of the jacket ) but the article doesn’t even tell you what type of PFAS they detected they probably don’t have the equipment to do that. Curious that you would assume that it was the ‘bad’ kind
