As per the article:

"But what if my container is 'microwave-safe'?

Though various plastics are marked as microwave-safe—and plenty of plastic lobbyists have defended them as perfectly safe—the term is somewhat misleading. It’s simply referring to plastic types that won’t crack or melt when heated, not their chemical makeup. Supposedly microwave-safe products can still contain bisphenols, phthalates, and plenty of other potentially harmful ingredients."

This comment feels needlessly hostile.

When organizations mess up, why is their first response to the critique to say "Why didn't you come to us first?" when they really mean "Why did you make this public so we actually have to do something?"

I get really frustrated with the response because it doesn't come across as a company actually interested in improving, but just throwing accusations back and trying to beg off the responsibility of actually holding themselves accountable.

Multiple issues can exist at once.

You're seeing words that trigger your community's language filter, I believe.

Here's the guide I used from Way of Leaf for my first flush. The main way that mushroom cultures fail is because they get overtaken by mold spores, so sterilization of everything is VITAL. Spores can be purchased online for microscopy purposes, along with pre-sterilized grain bags with injection ports.

Seconding this. OP seems very determined to avoid interacting with comments that don't explicitly confirm their own worldview.

I found a chart from Alpha-Gal Information that lists the products that those with alpha-gal syndrome might have allergic reactions to; of note is that some have reactions to gelatin, which is present in many medicines including gel-caps.

Absolutely. Like you, I'm trying to get involved in/build up my local community. I tend to a small farm, so I've been taking a page out of Stardew's book; it turns out most people really do like being gifted vegetables and animal products!
