Here is todays devils panties and wow. Been knocking it out of the park this week to me. Although not really the take here it makes me think about mercury in fish. As a doomer I actually feel that even if global warming was taken away by a genie wish and we 100% did not add carbon going forward we are in real trouble because of pollution. In our planet and in our products. I mean it seems when people talk about the rise of civilization they talk about agriculture growing staple crops, but fishing to me is even larger in importance for civilization. Its been our staple protein for most of history. Then of course we have the use of pesticides causing the increase in arsenic in our staples to. ugh.

How the hell do I find cinnamon that didn't have lead in it?

Buy it then do a lead test on it. Same for Turmeric, there's a lead based yellow pigment that is added to make it look MOAR YELLOW. Buy it, test it, make note of where you got it for next time.

How do you test for lead though?

There are numerous lead test kits available, depending on the material being tested. Try this:
