Many of you may remember my original rant on conspiracies. I've discovered a new one. Teflon. You've heard the old addage "if nothing sticks to teflon, how does teflon stick to the pan?" The true answers is, actually, it doesn't stick to the pan. If comes off in cancer-causing flakes after a few uses. Even if you're careful to only use nylon spatulas and wash it with the nifty little pampered chef scraper, you'll find that eventually, the resilliant material does not adhere.
The conspiracy? I think that they knew about this when they invnented the first teflon pan. But they decided to do it anyway. They even let the FDA or whoever it was discover the carsinigans present in the chemicals. That way, people who carefully guard their healthy lifestyles and watch for chipping materials will throw out their teflon pans and replace them. At least for a few years. More money for the Teflon-using companies. More money for doctors and drug companies. Everyone's happy.
Until I expose their evil exploits and everyone starts buying stainless steel and using steel wool to clean. It's really not that difficult. And think of all the benefits. You can worry about other, less obvious health risks instead of thinking about cancer every time you want a pan of stir-fry.
