The Danger Of Eating In Restautants

Toxic chemicals, hormone disrupting phthalates are found in the packaging of food bought by restaurants.

Studies have found that people who eat in restaurants have 35% more phthalates in their bodies than people who eat at home.

The good news just keeps on coming; first it was stuff falling out of the sky, now the dangers of eating out.

All this while there is an active thread from someone trying to conquer her fears.

The good news is there is already a movement to change the wrappings.

One more reason why I love eating at home....besides home cooking just tastes better as well as healthier!

@Noel7. In addition, they have a 100% chance of not having to wash dishes and clean the kitchen.

I've been eating in restaurants since I got my first job.......and guess what? I'm still here.......and still getting take-outs (can't eat a whole restaurant meal at one sitting.)

I did get ptomaine once.......but that was at a hot dog stand when I was in high school (WAY before lunch trucks).

Lifestyle "plant based" 98% of the time meals are homemade. I enjoy dining out with family and friends. So far never experienced illness dining out. The same cruising or traveling abroad plan to continue. Leaving next month "South Pacific"

This is the silliest discussion! There are dangers all around us 24/7! I'm surely not going to stop living because of the possible "danger"!

@Noel7

You say in your opening post ..... "Studies have found that people who eat in restaurants have 35% more phthalates in their bodies than people who eat at home."

Where are these studies reported, who conducted them and how did they select the sample of people who were tested, and how many people were tested?

Also, is there any evidence in these studies that restaurants purchase a greater amount of packaging containing "toxic chemicals" than the rest of us who buy food at our local grocery stores?

I eat out every morning and have never had a issue with the food I am served

I am not saying this isn't possible, but it might not be as widespread an issue as they claim

I am more worried about the filthy food that gets into the food chain that spreads diseases..I think we are under protected

Can you get sick from eating out? Can you also get sick from food you buy at the store? Does it depend on what they put in that food? stay away from processed food? it can be full of toxic stuff. Your body is full of toxic stuff because of what we put into them with the food we eat and things around us.

Yesterday in the produce department of a local grocery store, I purchased and then cooked two bags of fresh green beans labeled as "organic".

Where does "organic" begin and the packaging it's in contain "nonorganic" material?

I agree.........this is a fruitless (no pun intended) discussion.

Welcome to life in an advanced society in the 21st century. LOL!

And what percentage of a chance is there for those who cross the street, drive a car, shop B & M stores, do a lot of traveling, etc of having an accident? I would suspect that those eating at home have a higher percentage of choking than those who go out to eat because when eating at home one is more likely to eat faster and without regard to how they look (there was a study on eating etiquette that did show people eat more carefully when eating out then they usually do at home). Plus chemicals are everywhere and most have more chemical exposure from what they use to clean their house with!! There are studies on everything and any study can be skewed to show what the researchers want it to.

@Pook

Your point is correct.......it's important to know WHO is conducting the latest "research" , did it meet normal validated research criteria , and why did they want to conduct it in the first place?

(Too often the motivation is money and the desire to promote a particular product or idea, rather than educational benefit.)

Everyday something new to worry about- not for me. I shut off the news, read only the articles I want and ignore the rest.

I Very happily enjoy eating out, and will continue.
