7. That's not a grenade, it's a turd

BPA is a well-documented toxin, and in both LAW and PRACTICE it is a plasticizer, NOT a food additive, organic or not.

"Organic" in terms of food, is legally defined in The Organic Foods Production Act, and BPA does not qualify. To deliberately confuse this definition of organic with the 'organic chemistry' definition indicates either dishonesty or ignorance sufficient to disqualify you from any serious debate.

If you can find an organic source of industrial quantities of bisphenol-A, there are companies interested, and you could make enormous amounts of money, whether it's a plant, fungal, or bacterial source.

The West's science establishment is about two-thirds of the way through the shift from ignorance about BPA to a sufficient understanding to demand its removal from the food chain. Unfortunately, that scientific process takes fifty to a hundred years.
