Food and Drink New cooking methods ... sous vide

I was gonna get a sous vide set up until I realized I'd be cooking in plastic causing me to pause. So naturally, I got to looking into the health aspects of it even though it's bad enough we have enough plastics getting into and polluting the environment. I don't give a rats ass what the FDA claims is safe since regulatory agencies suffer from regulatory capture. The science just does not support advocates of the sous vide position that it is a perfectly safe way to cook. On the contrary, the evidence is clear that ALL types of plastic, when exposed to heat, leach various chemicals into any surrounding medium, including food — including endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Once a big proponent of sous vide cooking, Chris Kresser changed his mind after the safety concerns raised in the Environmental Health Perspectives study.

I realize this post will lead to some hostile reactions. It's your choice to use or not. I still think it's worth posting.
