> Plastic cutting boards are mostly just plain undyed polyethylene (HDPE)- which is just a fully saturated perfectly straight hydrocarbon, similar to saturated fat or wax and lacks the kind of reactive functional groups that make other plastic polymers toxic.

This is all just completely made up -- starting with the assertion that "plastic polymers" (whatever those are; you're not being specific enough to have a debatable claim) are "toxic" in the first place.
