Well articulated by renowned chef, Andrew Zimmern. Toxic forever chemicals are contaminating our food & water and poisoning our bodies. They don't belong in the pots and pans we cook with every day.

Another great conversation with AIA Los Angeles, discussing how we can utilize the principles of a circular economy in our built environment.
Issues like adaptive reuse, as well as community hardening techniques, can make important contributions to a sustainable future.

Celebrity chefs want to kill @benallenca.bsky.social's #SB682 that would ban dangerous PFAS from cookware in California. These chefs either sell or endorse cookware lines that use these ‘forever chemicals’, putting their personal profits over public health.

PFAS are leading to an avoidable public health crisis. It’s clear we need to be taking stronger steps to regulate and minimize the use of these forever chemicals.
