The most disturbing is "Raw Cow Milk from Farm in Glass". It still is loaded with plastic, even though it is one of the least processed things on the list.

My only question is was the cow milked by hand or by machine? The tubing in a milking machine almost certainly contains plastic.

Fortunately, raw cow milk is unnecessary for humans (good for baby cows though!) and easy to avoid.

I bring up raw milk because it is minimally processed (I don't even consume it personally). I used it as an example because it shows how much plastic is embedded in the food chain and ecosystem by looking at one of the least processed items on the list.
