Plastic Pretenders

Plastic is organic. Plastics are made with gas, which is a biproduct of oil. It comes from the ground as a tar-like substance we have all been told is extremely toxic even after modification into plastic form. This may be true if you try to consume it as it may be like any other type of element or plant material not meant for consumption to promote cell propagation. However, my research has illuminated a very disturbing community of plastic hating liars who also happen to be the actual production or manufacturers of these products.

What am I talking about? For a visual representation of my theory of lies and buys, I will focus on a few products made for public use. The first thing you should understand is that plastic production, once a product is produced, is still just a form of the original ingredient, oil. Believe it or not, humans and animals have been ingesting oil covered or slicked edibles for as long as life. It is still the same as it has always been, only it looks different in a manufactured product or transformed into a different substance using combinations of other organic compounds.

Now. Think about what the so-called experts have said about certain plastics. They say that they must have a certain number to be non-toxic or able to be handled by your hands or mouth on a consistent basis. They say that those horrible number plastics ‘flake’ off into your food or drinks; thereby, accumulating somewhere in your body as cancer pockets in your cells.

For one thing, plastic is slick. Even if you have a miniscule or microscopic flake of plastic, it will simply slide its way through your body's processing system to eliminate. It will not coat the interior of your body as it makes it way out of it. It has already been processed to the point where it is incapable of further breaking down such as would possibly happen in your stomach acid. Oh, yeah, we have acid in our bodies. Isn’t THAT toxic?

What is happening with the totally FAKE information within the business and media world is the mighty efforts of people and companies to make money using your own insecurities as they tell you how horrible you will die if you do not use their methods or new products to eliminate the evil plastics. Of course, they make sure the ocean is full of plastics that end up in some vulnerable animals who have no way to eliminate a plastic baggie once it is consumed other than to have the plastic stay inside their stomach until other foods and materials help carry it out of their ‘slick’ digestion system.

Take the shark, for instance. Over the years, fishermen have opened up their stomachs and have found such things as license plates. There is no telling how long THAT non-plastic has been in there, but the shark still lived. We eat all forms of natural chemicals, minerals, and vitamins in our foods every day. Our world is full of elements that the so-called experts do not even know exist yet. To give you a little example of what you may be ingesting and do not see or recognize as maybe a foreign material, think about the floaties you see in the beam of sunlight coming through your window. You breathe these in all day everywhere you go. What are they? Where did they come from? They are more than dust or dirt as they seem to float on air and may never touch earth’s surface…only in your nose or mouth. Those tentacles you dig out of your nostril (you know who you are) are simply fluff and stuff hairs or fibers of many different elements in our AIR.

Now that I have you thoroughly confused and your brain is open to other possibilities, I want to turn your attention back to the plastics you use to contain your food, drink, or simply touch or use daily such as your iPhone protector cover. I love mine. I checked it out when I heard that the plastics were on their way out because they would flake off onto your body or hand, unseen, causing horrifying cancer. I rubbed it. It is slick. I have extremely sensitive hands and skin. I can feel inconsistencies in many items such as thicknesses or quality of items. I rubbed it again. Contrary to what we have all been told or taught that plastic is not toxic at all. So, I kept going.

I rummaged in my plastics drawer and cabinet pulling out different old (yes, old) and newer plastic products. One of the old ones is Tupperware. One of the new ones is a plastic baggie. Two different products both meant to temporarily hold food. The Tupperware is a product I have been using my whole life (okay, so I am old). I have NO PHYSICAL PROBLEMS or cancers or anything wrong with my body. So, exactly how fast do you think YOU will die using these products? I have been using plastic bags since their invention. I must be invincible!

How about my plastic travel alarm clock? Unheard of for most young people, but older people still swear by them because the battery makes the time keep going even during power-outages. Think about it. You touch all kinds of plastics every day and do not have RESIDUE on your hands or body afterward. For you younger generation, how about your computer and keys? They are…plastic. Now, they will try to frighten you into changing or exchanging your plastic product for a newer less-toxic model, but seriously, it is all still oil. They are just out to make a buck off a newer more expensive and less quality product. Sell, sell, sell is their motto of lies and misinformation meant to fool people into spending their hard-earned money lifting them to the top of the dog pile of so-called intelligent know-it-all’s. I am a know-it-all, for real.

I know that there may be some plastic products that can flake off if they are not made quality without a brittleness that breaks up in small pieces. I do not know of any yet that do this. There are some very cheap products such as plastic drawer systems that have larger pieces that break off because I nearly bought one at a big box before I noticed the chunk out at the bottom of the product. It may be wise to turn over and over any plastic product, especially if it feels ‘brittle’ to the touch, not slick.

Slick plastics do not flake. Brittle plastics do flake, but not usually into microscopic pieces that you cannot see that will end up in your intestines, clinging to your insides in pockets, eventually causing cancer to form as your cells surround the foreign object causing a cancerous tumor to appear. Your electrical cords are…slick plastic. Go ahead and examine everything in your world feeling your plastics. You may even make a research note or paper documenting which ones are slick and which ones are brittle (more breakable). If you do find an extremely oily or extremely breakable plastic product, it may indeed be toxic as it is the poorest quality of plastic on the planet! Pretty soon, you WILL be able to feel and see the difference in the quality of each product on the market, even the old ones at the thrift store, and choose those plastics that work consistently with longevity.

Tupperware, for instance, did a great job for many years. Then, they came along with the ‘throw-away’ plastics. Okay. So, the flimsy pieces of plastic are not the best, but I must tell you that except for foods such as tomato sauce from goulash, I wash out my flimsy plastic bags over and over and over and guess what? They are still good after years of my washing them out by hand under a small stream of water. Elbow grease is free. It is the oil that you use to clean your dishes instead of nasty dishwashers they came up with to replace your natural energetic self. Of course, they tell you all kinds of horrible things about how you are wasting water if you wash items by hand, but then, that IS their business model. Parting you from your hard-earned cash is their goal. Your goal should be to continue to rely on what your hands, body, and mind tell you are quality with longevity and standard product reliability.

I want my readers to understand that YOU are the one with the power to denounce the liars, thieves, con artists, murderers of innocence, common sense, and intelligence. Stop. Look around. Examine it. Test it. Research it. Document it. Then, tell the rest of us what you found during your journey of freedom from those people you can clearly see are…plastic.
