I think that is too broad, plastics does not mean forever chemicals.

But yeah, they are in unexpected places.

Probably most people know about non-stick coatings in the kitchen. Most of them have forever chemicals. And wow, their marketing word choices are almost like privacy policies in their obfuscation.

Perhaps you’re conflating BPA (plasticizer) which is a suspected endocrine disruptor, and PFAs (forever chemicals) which often show up in fire retardants and waterproofing.

Those two things are different.

Modern paper straws are apparently extremely bad.

Some stainless steel bottles are unlined. Sadly, the lined ones don’t have to include a warning label.

Also, our local Whole Foods has a warning sign in the produce aisle saying that some of their fruit is coated in a plastic “food wax”. There aren’t labelling or provenance laws, so not even Amazon can source untainted produce at scale.

They recommend peeling everything, since no wax removal soaps reliably remove the plastic.
