I had chicken stock cooking away on the stove all afternoon. Just went to drain it into a bowl and apparently when I threw a stalk of broccoli in there, I missed the little plastic tag/rubber band thing. So that piece of plastic has been cooking away with the chicken carcass and veggies all afternoon too... I'm so annoyed. It smells so good and I'm planning to make chicken soup for my sick kiddo.
I tossed it because the thought of willingly ingesting those plastic chemicals was gross. I know we won't get sick from one time, but the cumulative effect is probably a most likely a real concern.
