The bowls at Chipotle and Sweetgreen are supposed to be compostable. They contain cancer-linked "forever chemicals."
Plant-based bowls contain troubling "forever chemicals," even when they're certified compostable. It gets worse from there.

The recent Dayton OH shooter was supposedly a leftist who wanted to "Kill every fascist."
B/c Twitter etc. have taken down his profiles, third parties like me can't verify that, and it was only luck that allowed these journalists to report it. Not good.
