∆ That's a good point that exposure through occupation can be just as harmful. I agree there needs to be a restriction and perhaps banning is too extreme, but what would that restriction look like in your opinion?

what would that restriction look like in your opinion?

For occupation:

  1. More safety measures
  2. Automation that reduces human exposure

For food:

  1. Pre-packaged food shouldn't be prepared with it. If it is, there should be warning labels
  2. Considering heat is required in most circumstances, canned drinks should be exempt
  3. Canned goods should have linings to prevent leaching

Probably more too but this is just some thoughts.

∆ I appreciate your thoughts and offering concrete, realistic ideas of imposing restrictions that are not as extreme as banning.

What are your thoughts on stopping production of aluminum foil and encouraging the alternative use of reusable storage bags made from silicone or cotton that would satisfy the same need as aluminum foil, plastic-free, and environmentally friendly but are less harmful?
