Hello again! Just to give an update, I've started packing some food items (canned goods, juice in tetra packs, condiments) and school supplies for tomorrow's distribution. I'm still dividing the vitamins and medicines (for headache, cough, colds, and flu) and IF EVER somebody here still wants to donate, I would highly appreciate. 🙏🏼

The last two photos are the marker of their community and the actual houses where they live, eat, and sleep. Whatever will be packed today will be distributed tomorrow and if ever additional monetary donations come in, we'll set another day to deliver the goods.

Again, thank you so much for sharing. We're very far from our goal but still, we're able to produce and give something for them.

Rice is a staple here in the PH but sadly it's way out of the budget I have now. It was a priority in our food packs but since 31 families are waiting for help, I opted for cheaper food options. If ever $2000 was reached, all Aeta families would have bags of rice. 🙏🏼

I still have time. Please continue sharing and reblogging. Thank you! Deets are in my previous posts. Please check if you're interested. 💜

Excerpt from this Chicago Tribune story:

Evidence is mounting that food packaging and plastic tableware contain toxic chemicals absorbed by humans, a public health risk largely ignored by federal officials charged with protecting the nation’s food supply.

During the past week alone, a new study detailed how more than 3,600 chemicals in food-related materials have been detected in people worldwide.

A companion review of recently published research confirmed 189 chemicals linked to breast cancer have been found in the materials, 76 of which migrate out of packaging and utensils during normal use.

Many of these chemicals were approved decades ago by the Food and Drug Administration with little, if any, oversight.

“Some have never been reviewed by the FDA at all because food and chemical companies are exploiting a loophole that lets them, rather than the FDA, decide whether a chemical is safe,” said Melanie Benesh, vice president for government affairs at the Environmental Working Group, one of several nonprofit organizations that have repeatedly petitioned the agency to ban toxic substances in food and packaging.

Years of legal and political pressure are just now forcing changes in an arm of the government long dominated by industry priorities rather than public health concerns.

After decades of denial, the FDA is vowing to overhaul its review processes and conduct more rigorous reviews of food chemicals already on the market.

Details remain slim. Agency officials cautioned Wednesday their budget to assess chemicals doesn’t come close to the amount necessary to conduct a robust safety program.

Absent further direction from Congress, though, it likely will take years to determine the fate of chemicals that researchers — and in some cases the FDA itself — already have flagged because they are suspected of posing significant health hazards.

One example is bisphenol A, or BPA, a hormone-scrambling chemical used in food can linings, food containers and water bottles. BPA has been linked to birth defects and behavior disorders in infants and children. In adults, the chemical can trigger diabetes, heart disease, erectile dysfunction, cancer and early death.

Other than banning BPA in baby bottles and infant formula cans, FDA officials have said the chemical is safe for approved uses. But in 2021, the European Union determined BPA is harmful at levels far below what once was considered safe. A year later nonprofit groups petitioned the U.S. food safety agency to take action; the FDA has yet to respond.

[Image description: grocery store display on bananas, with a sign advertising that they are "premium boneless bananas." description ends]

I think whoever made that sign had this British dance hall / novelty song (1936) stuck in their head (I'm sorry, and/or your welcome)

obviously im of the belief that labelling food abd the ingredients it contains as clearly as possible is really good practice, and i highly approve of it

but the specific sense of comedy thats invoked in you when you look at a dish that is almost entirely a certain ingredient and theres a little sign next to it that reads “THIS ITEM CONTAINS [INGREDIENT]” is something that cannot be ignored

So apparently the Americans are unaware that in Australia, all soy sauce is distributed via tiny 1-inch fish bottles

Imagine a whole country never having tasted the nectar of the microplastic marlon, no wonder America is like that
