peterb0yd··on Scientists discover how many chemicals from food packaging enter our bodies
After watching Dark Waters and becoming fearful of PFAS, I don't understand how these PFAS aren't completely eliminated from production. Is it because they help reduce spoilage/leakage which allows food to travel further and increase shelf life? Do the lobbyists argue that this reduces food waste?

How is it legal for Sweetgreen, Cava and other restaurants to use PFAS in "compostable" food packaging and make it seem like a "sustainable" alternative to plastic packaging? [1]

It's difficult for me to contain my emotions whenever I read about PFAS being found in yet another common material and certain government bodies trying to deregulate safety inspections [2].

peterb0yd··on Remix Vite Is Now Stable
> "if you know that you are going to use Vercel, use Next.js but otherwise I would always argue for Remix"

Hmm. I'm using Remix and Vercel for a side-project right now and it's pretty awesome. Lightning fast build times (around 30 seconds).

At work, I use Vercel with Next.js and our build times are in the one-three minute range.
