Does anyone remember the hysteria in like 2012-13 I think it was when people were freaking out about the wax on apples? Sure some suppliers were actually adding wax to their apples to make them shinier(and fuck the for that), but for the most part apples have their own natural wax as part of their skin.
We would be in exactly the same panic about wax as we are about plastic now, I definitely hate plastic but it feels like we are constantly being told to be worried to the point nothing is safe or should be trusted.
the wax was a sealant to make it easy to ship and prevent rotting. “one bad apple spoils the bunch” literally, so coat em in wax so the mould doesn’t spread as much.
