I feel as if perhaps, there are others people who should be eating lead, perhaps forcibly and at great speed
Lunchables are intended for children.
The people responsible for this really need to be given a high speed self-guided tour of an abandoned mineshaft
For those unfamiliar, China handled this shit better
fuck i ate those things semi regularly for years because it was the only ready to eat food i could steal at my workplace
I mean that's the reality of living in a failed state where food and water safety standards are adjusted for money.
Lunchables aren't even cheap, calorie for calorie. There's probably more kJ you can get from pyrolyzing the plastic into crude than there is in the food itself.
That's not food, you're eating branding.
You're paying for the pre-portioned servings and the plastic containers. I mean, I get it to an extent - it's quite a bit of work to pack a child's lunch nearly every morning on top of all the other stuff to get ready with a child. I'd love to have the extra 10-15 minutes back, too, but putting the work in saves money and plastic waste, and also avoids stuff like this (as far as I can control at least).
Free decent breakfasts, lunches and even dinner as part of an extended school day could be such a help for so many parents. So much household labor is required to keep this fucking nightmare on track to killing us all.
it's the neovictorian era, we're all going to live out of airbnb sleeping coffins and roll the dice on which foods have the least adulteration
How does lead keep ending up in the food? I could understand environmental exposure in a lead-contaminated field or something but why would anyone build a food processing plant and let lead near it?
lots of products that are sold by weight have been found to have lead added to them to cheat the scales including food such as cinnamon recalled last month
That's...monstrous. That's so evil, it would be considered "unrealistic" in a movie with a cartoonishly evil capitalist as the villain.
A quick google suggests lead is about 1/3 the price of iron ore. Nickel is around the same as lead, but it's only about 3/4 as dense.
Humanity will adapt by evolving into an organism composed of lead, microplastics and petroleum.
Genuinely at this point, maybe growing your own fields of wheat and vegetables is the only way to not eat actual poison
