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.

Many livestock feeds have some level of plastic in them.

I visited the largest pig farm in Ohio and they grind up bags of old dog food, plastic bags and everything. Literally pallets full of expired food, just dumped into the grinder. Then they spread the waste and sell it as organic fertilizer, plastic is now everything.
