@earthlingusa @StephanieMoore @GottaLaff At this point, there's microplastics in most of our organs, let alone tea bags. So some actually come from the tea bags themselves--more likely from the silky style teabag, less from paper style.
But tea's an agricultural product, so raw leaf is carried in bags that could be made from synthetic fibers, or exposed to something during processing, or even the final packaging.
To be more specific, you'd probably have to test along the whole process.

I haven't thought about A&P in a long time. There used to be one down the street from my Dad's small town IGA store. That was back in the days when even a small town had several competing grocery stores. Today, Walmart has driven most of them out of business.
A&P had that 8 o'clock coffee. Fresh ground. That would be a treat.
I am surprised that A&P survived until 2015.
Cheers. β

It would probably be easier for the established institutions to acknowledge the extremist threat of a separate Trump party. But we are, in fact, in a much more dangerous situation precisely because Trumpism has taken over the GOP, meaning it is inherently close to taking power. 11/

Trumpism is not an aberration from a βnobleβ conservative tradition. It is in line with long-standing anti-democratic tendencies and impulses that have always defined modern conservatism as a political project. And fascism is not something foreign to American society. 8/
This seems true to me. Let's go fuck shit up.

Maybe it's just me, but I can't think of any reason to call a woman a "cunt," even if she called for genociding the Jews. [I don't know what she said, actually. ]
There's better words that are more about the offending ideas, rather than about the butthurt #Likud #apologist who went straight for The C-Word.
Maybe they don't think the right words are about bad things. Racism. Apartheid. Murder.

#WordWeavers Aug 9: Character you don't like as a person?
None of the guards at the mental institution Jim gets consigned to are exactly likeable, but Toromu is particularly... unpleasant. In ways that are horrifying but sadly all too common. Give some people power, and they π€πππ abuse it.

NOTE part of the media are trying to spin this
Some in media accurately reported what confused grandpa Weird Trump did barely out of his pyjamas yesterday alone ranting in Mar-A-Lago as the magababble of a confused fool
OTHERS IN MEDIA try to say he was coherent, with a message
It is starting
