I can do all of this and be hit by a bus tomorrow. I'm not saying don't do it, but there's already so many assumptions made. It's also playing whack-a-mole.

For example, organic might not exactly [0] be what you think it is [1]. What's more important is that you actually do eat enough fruits and vegetables.

Reverse osmosis membranes are made of plastic [2] and might themselves be introducing tons of microplastics to the water [3]. Our parents got leaded gasoline. We get microplastics.

The bandwidth to focus on these kind details usually comes with certain financial security. There's simply too many variables. Your average joe who can't use "Locale" to source their food. (An interesting experiment is to grab the text body of this blog post and ask AI to estimate the author's net worth and yearly salary.)
