Too bad their investigation did not include whole foods such as meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, and oils. That would have established a much-needed baseline.

The upshot of all this is to avoid food packaged in plastic and cans as much as possible. Above all else, make sure you avoid heating, cooking, and microwaving food in plastic. Replace everything plastic with stainless steel, glass, and wood as much as possible. And stick mostly to fresh and minimally processed foods.

Notice that fast food tends to have very high levels of plastics, not just because of the storage containers but also because it is prepared by workers with vinyl gloves, which shed very high levels of plastics.
