eating organic dont confer immunity from chemical contamination as many are shrink wrapped in plastic.
to be healthier reduce use of #plastic in your life,
esp when buying, making or storing food. oily products are at extreme risk when stored in plastic, but acidy foods like tomato sauce can actually disintegrate plastic, ending up on your plate.
shun processed and transfer food products sold in plastic to glass containers

@pennyphilosophy Organic food doesn't offer immunity from anything it's just food grown a different way, just that there's not supposed to be chemicals in the food if it's organic.
@Charles_Hawtrey shrink wrapping products in plastic would be then a contradiction in terms

@Charles_Hawtrey plastic is chemicals in form.
any change of circumstance can revert it to its components.
heat, freezing, acidic food, long use ... all these can change the equation.
@pennyphilosophy Yes, some chemicals can leach from plastic into the food, I'm no expert on hat though but many experts do say it.
