Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical compound  primarily used in the manufacturing of various plastics...

... The health effects of BPA have been the subject of prolonged public and scientific debate. BPA is a xenoestrogen, exhibiting hormone-like properties that mimic the effects of estrogen in the body.

Bisphenol A (BPA), a hormone-disrupting chemical used in food packaging, is present in almost all Europeans’ bodies, posing a potential health risk.

A recent Horizon 2020 research initiative, HBM4EU, measured chemicals in people’s bodies in Europe and detected BPA in the urine of 92% of adult participants from 11 European countries.

The Copenhagen-based EEA said the share of adults exceeding the recommended maximum levels ranged from 71 to 100% in the 11 countries studied, referring to levels outlined by the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) in an April review.

I'll just leave this for you to read further on this. https://www.google.com/search?q=bisphenol+a+european

If you want to debate this you are accused of being [buzzword]fobic or a [buzzword]ist.

I'd ague that BPA is the least of our worries as far as contaminants are concerned

Yes. But in relation to the meme it seemed relevant.

It is, I agree, just you went pretty hard there b'y, so I was thinking it was your main concern
