Growing up, in the summer times I would have to bale hay. My family, we would always fill up old milk jugs with water. We would freeze them overnight, and in the morning take them with us. I would set my milk jug on the floorboard on my tractor, (not enclosed, an old-fashioned open air rig) and the floorboard would get warm from the sun and the engine, and it would melt the ice. And I would go through about 2 gallons a day, I tried to drink as much as I could, I thought it was healthy.

Same thing hauling the bales in, but the water stayed in the truck. It still got warm and melted though. So basically, the water froze in plastic, and then was heated and melted in plastic. There is no way to tell how much xenoestrogens I consumed in the summer time.

you say some of the dumbest stuff, but i don’t really mind.

I don’t understand what I said that was so dumb. Please, elaborate, lest I continue along the narrow road of ingnorance.

just reminds me of napoleon dynamite or something.

I was thinking forest gump.

Polyethylene and polypropylene(PP) do not have any plasticizers and I would expect these to be quite safe. Look for the recycling symbols. Many large yogurt containers are PP.

However, I still avoid plastics all I can.

In rethinking the title of the thread-

How far is too far…?

When making a choice in this subject made illegal. Meaning legislation passed to ban plastics. I’d rather have the decision of choosing plastic or otherwise be left to us. But that’s how you know it’s gotten too far.
