The 2000s, in some ways, culturally feel neither here nor there: They don’t have the neon vibe we associate with the 1980s, and lack the grunge appeal of the ‘90s. There’s plenty to appreciate, however, in movies over the decade that was bookended by blockbusters: Lord of the Rings in the early years, and Iron Man, Dark Knight, and Avatar at the end. None of those feel particularly cookie-cutter in the way that their successors would often be, and, in the middle years, there were many successful movies of the…

In case you missed the headlines, the FDA issued a recall in August for several imported cookware products due to concerns that they could leach lead into food. That list expanded in October and again earlier this month, and it’s unclear if (or when) more items may be added. The reason this is so concerning is that lead is toxic, and there’s no known safe level of exposure. But also, when it comes to cookware nowadays, lead isn’t our only worry. Many of us—myself included—want to avoid PFAS (the so-called “forever chemicals”), microplastics and other heavy metals like cadmium. As…
