I think about this every day. It really fills me with a sense of wonder.<p>In a lab, in a meeting room, somewhere in the chemical industry, someone basically said &quot;Now that BPA is banned, we need something with the exact same chemical properties&quot; and boom they made a clone of it, skipped human testing despite knowing it has literally the same properties, and called the job finished because the job was to circumvent the law and the law has been circumvented!<p>Just imagine that kind of attitude in your life. It&#x27;s hard to imagine an analogy. It&#x27;s like if you were dropping red bricks off a building onto people on the sidewalk and the judge was like &#x27;you are no longer allowed to drop red bricks onto people&#x27; so you switched to chicago bricks.<p>The analogy sounds childish or ridiculous. But as far as I can tell it&#x27;s a perfect match for BPA&#x2F;BPS
