Excellent video. I watched it last week. It made me leery of over half the items in my house as possibly contributing to my (unknown) PFAS load. It also makes me want to go test for it just to reveal what's there. One more thing to think about. Yay.
My takeaways:
I am never eating Microwave popcorn again, jfc why does that not have cigarette level warnings?
Yes, chemical industries need significantly more regulation from regulators with significantly expanded authority. BECAUSE OF SH-T LIKE THIS. Holy fuck Trump is going in the other direction ofc save the Earth 8647

Some other suggestions:
They make these Korcci Silicone Bowls and Nordicware has a 'microwave popcorn popper'. The silicone bowls are meh, but are good for the lazy. The Nordicware one isn't bad, just small.
A microwave hotplate or just plate can help pop the popcorn better and prevent the oil from getting all over your microwave.
Don't get discouraged if you don't do it right the first few times. It takes some balancing to figure out how to properly pop popcorn.
Hope someone finds this useful and please, feel free to ask questions.
