    I want to read this article, but I also know I can’t afford whatever alternative it’s going to posit as less harmful.

      We switched to bamboo spatulas and cutting boards. They aren’t very expensive and you can buy them in Asian supermarkets.

          I’m in Asia and been using my wooden/bamboo spatulas and cutting boards for about 15 years, and they’re still going strong!

          We haven’t had them for more than a year yet, but so far they’ve been holding up pretty well.

      Just use wood and stainless steel. Both are inexpensive and should be pretty safe.

      If you want extra safety, ditch your nonstick teflon type stuff for stainless steel, cast iron, enamel, and/or carbon steel for your pots and pans.
