  • So I’m all for substances to be routinely measured for lead concentration. I wouldn’t be surprised if lead and fascism have a link.

    But, because of leaded gasoline and widespread use of lead in other products historically we cannot escape 0 lead.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if you took a plate of food from a randomized selection of restaurants, you would find lead in every meal.

    Lead is dense, and leaded gasoline absolutely fucked our planet. We know the safe level is 0.

    We cannot say that any measurement of non-zero is worse than what we can ultimately control for. We need to be measuring these things over decades, to verify the amount continues to decrease with the ultimate hope of 0 (though, that’s unlikely).
