Seriously though- I’m a pretty picky shopper - exclusively organic (when at all possible) for any/all foods regardless of cost. Even herbs and spices. Seeing oregano and thyme fail all tests is very concerning. My initial thought is to try to pivot to fresh herbs but I’m not sure that option is necessarily safer.

Best solution is to not having kids. This is if you think for the kids first. There is no reason to have kids that is for the benefit of the potential child. But nobody likes that. People's selfish wish always comes first before the potential kid's benefit. So kids will have these toxins in their body in the end and any problem that comes with it.
Existence feels like a benefit over non-existence. But this is a philosophical problem rather than a measurement problem.

I'm of the opinion that the suffering we do as a race isn't worth the creativity and pleasure. Plus if you don't exist, you don't know what you're missing out on.
Then kill yourself. Otherwise, shut the fuck up - you clearly value life.
Of you really want people to kill themself, make it easy. Otherwise you need to shut the fuck up.

You can grow your own (assuming you can find clean soil…). I harvested enough oregano this year to last months.
Yeah but get your soil tested. Lead and arsenic are natural and there's nothing saying they aren't in your soil. Pollution from old lead paint or nearby roads is real.
