Yeah and similar to lead (and asbestos as someone else mentioned), once you see it you can't really un-see it.

The idea of re-heating food by microwave in a plastic storage container, or purchasing anything acidic or liquid from the grocery store that's stored in a plastic or plastic-lined container elicits a similar feeling in my brain to sleeping under popcorn ceilings or drinking water from a house with lead pipe plumbing.

Yet, in the U.S. at leaste, people have been doing this literally for decades without thinking twice :/
