A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is America, our non-toxic glue is made from plastic (PVA). It is definitely not for food and also not starch or gelatine.
Also, things not designed for food use or human consumption don't have to follow strict rules regarding their composition, and they're not monitored.
Nobody is checking PVA glue for heavy metals or melamine or pesticides or any other number of things that will give your insides a bad day.
Nobody is issuing a recall if your bottle of glue ends up with ground up glass in it.
Because it's not food, and it doesn't matter, until you put half a cup of it in your pizza because Google told you it was a good idea.
