Thanks for the post and the not-freaking- out vibe. Talking about health I'm curious about a 2% guide to boosting immunity. Being a lower-secondary school teacher I get a cold far too often in the fall and all the things I've tried so far too boost never seemed to work. I don't seem to have a good immune system ever since I was a child.

This has to be the third time in as much as a week that I’m hearing about microplastics. Thanks for the dose of sobriety! Yeah it’s not a great situation but it’s also one that we have more limited ability to change, given how pervasive the spread of microplastics is at this point. Things like consistent exercise, healthy weight, as nutritious of a diet as you can maintain on your budget - those are still much bigger levers to pull than trying to futilely eliminate all microplastics from getting in your body, as if that alone will determine your health outcomes.

While we know there’s no such thing as Sanity Clause, always good to know I can check here for my spicy Sanity Sauce.

Thanks for posting this. Great timing. Our town has twice voted against adding an artificial turf field and we're about to vote yet again. . The mfr is saying it will be PFAS-free. Even it that's true, it won't be free of plastics.
