My neighborhood soil is laced with arsenic and lead from an old foundry that used to be nearby.
A bunch of my neighbors grow and eat food in that soil knowing it. It boggles my mind.
While I know it's not convenient, have you considered... telling them?
Yea, and the response has been ‘I’ve been eating food I’ve grown here for 20 years and I’m totally fine!’
Just like the people that love to tell their grandparents lived a long life smoking tobacco everyday.
It wasn't the smoking that didnt kill em. It was the minding their own fucking business.
