Video Description

Welcome to Surabaya, East Java—where entire villages of backyard tofu shacks torch truckloads of plastic for fuel and crank out bean curd laced with war-grade dioxins. Lab tests on village eggs hit 200 pg TEQ/g fat—about 80× the legal limit and neck-and-neck with Vietnam’s Agent-Orange hotspot. Add in flame-retardant PBDEs, SCCPs and PFAS, and you’ve got the nastiest brunch you never ordered. I spend 48 hours with the workers, breathe the black smoke, and ask why nobody’s hitting the brakes. Smash that bell, drop a comment, and tell me: would you still eat the tofu? #ToxicTofu #PlasticWaste #Dioxin #Indonesia #FoodChain #documentary 🎥 Credits Host: Andrew Fraser Editor: Toms D.
