Those tiktokers eating the plastic around fruit chews are vindicated!

So I can eat the plastic wrappers?

I mean the top comment here didn’t even read the article to find out there’s no risk of them ingesting it unless it’s done on purpose after they purchase the entire wheel, they just read the headline and implied what it suggested without actually learning the full truth.

Alex Jones makes money on being a walking, talking “clickbait headline”. And people are so addicted to the dopamine they get from feeling “smarter” than other people (after being dumb all their lives because the American school system has been designed to fail them) that they huff his words like a drug.

Smug superiority is addictive.

It would probably last you a decade even if you really eat a lot of parmesan

From the top result (Treehugger):

1. Throw them into tomato sauce when cooking. They’ll impart some flavor. Pull them out and discard when the sauce is done cooking.
2. Place them in a jar, pour olive oil over them (perhaps add some garlic cloves, too – but if you add garlic, make sure to keep the oil refrigerated) and make parmesan-infused olive oil. Great for dipping bread into.
3. Throw them into bean soups or minestrone. Discard the rinds before serving.
4. Throw them into the pot when you’re making stock.
5. Add to stew. Remove rinds before serving.
6. Use them to flavor steamed artichokes. Add some chicken broth, onion and lemon juice and a cheese rind or two, and it's a delicious broth!
7. Put a rind in the pot when you’re cooking risotto or other rice. Remove the rind before serving.
8. Make a parmesan broth for cheese-filled pastas like ravioli. You can try the Bitchincamero's recipe for ricotta & pea ravioli in parmesan broth or just use the recipe for inspiration for your own pasta in Parmesan broth.
9. Try The Novice Chef's Panera-inspired recipe for tomato, cheese and bread Soup.
10. If the rind is pure cheese (with no waxy coating), you can grill the rind until it becomes soft and chewy, put it on a piece of crusty bread, and eat.
