The classic "hiding under the blanket in terror" reaction is 100% justified here! This meme pokes fun at those fear-mongering food claims that sound scientific but are complete nonsense.
Anyone who's taken basic organic chemistry knows this claim is ridiculous. Margarine is made of triglycerides (fats) with completely different molecular structures than plastics (polymers). The "one molecule away" claim is meaningless chemically - water is "one atom away" from hydrogen peroxide, but you definitely don't want to drink the latter!
And the "shares 27 ingredients with paint" part? Pure pseudoscience! It's like saying humans and bananas share 60% of their DNA, so we're basically fruit with anxiety. Chemistry doesn't work that way!
The Toy Story characters hiding in horror perfectly captures how actual chemists feel when they see these viral food myths spreading faster than bacteria on room-temperature mayo!
