In normally functioning society there are built in protection mechanisms that shield general population from such harm, as much as possible of course. FDA for US for example.
You can't expect every citizen to have 20 phds and actively keep searching for all potential harm from all sides, even you, whoever you are, are not keeping up with it all, thats a fact.
It can be tackled trivially, albeit it will create some business friction - you introduce a novel chemical in your product on our market? Please here is the substantial checklist of tests that you need to pass to be allowed. Otherwise please use approved stuff or bye, be it chinese sweatshop or apple. People like trump with their elephant-in-porcelaine-shop approach could be the force of good if they focused ie on such topics with their ferocity. But they do exact opposite (cash flow uber alles, fuck non-ultra-high-net-worth plebs its their fault for being poor and dumb subhumans).
So please a bit less of that high horse and more empathy and reason, absolute capitalism with disregard of individuals is what gave us marxism and communism as response, not the path we want or need to go down in 21st century for any reason.

(You will find none.) >It can be tackled trivially Agreed, but it won't happen. ( I 'll leave you to figure out why it doesn't happen) >FDA for US for example. They are largely ineffective, if you have looked at them closely. There might be a few exceptions though. >So please a bit less of that high horse and more empathy and reason Great words, and quite a bit of virtue signalling. Have you observed the common person in USA? Netflix channels, tiktok, or some reality show, matter to them more than their health. Look, I understand your sentiment but it does not gel with the reality I observe. Collectively we face the consequences of what the vast majority wants, or in this case neglects. You can either come to terms with it, or you can project your annoyance at me for stating it.
- kylebenzle 1y agoYou are correct, people just get mad when they have to face the consequences their own actions. Eating (with) plastic was known to be a bad idea by everyone from day one, we do it because we don't care until something goes wrong for us personally.
- kylebenzle 1y agoEating/drinking out of plastic has been known to be bad from day one, ingesting plastic is a bad idea so eating out of and with plastic is also obviously not great, no PhD necessary for that conclusion. Your saying people need a PhD to know to not eat plastics? Wow, you must think people are even dumber that dude above
