I wonder if it’s worth it to filter the water you drink. If that’s at the bottom of the chain then would the amount you get from food (especially meat) vastly dwarf the amount you directly drink?

But what is the water filter made from? What if it's also dependent on PFOA?

Also a good question, but mine still stands. Do we get an significant amount of this directly from water?

I wish I knew, or maybe I don't. Sometimes it seems too late to be rid of these substances.

Eventually it will accummulate in humans, so we treat humans as toxic waste?

To some degree, we do that already.

Human bodies are already considered as such after death.

I’ve heard some people still consider “meat” to be food.

Are you talking about the lab grown meat or meat substitutes?
The lab grown stuff might be the only way we can eat meat without these chemicals in it now.

I’m talking about the stuff you get by killing animals.
