Parchment paper was definitely widely used in kitchens before the 00s.
is it different from butcher paper?
Yes butcher paper is for wrapping raw meat and being resistant to leaking fluids from raw meat. You can freeze with it but can't cook with it.
a quick google search says yes
TL/DR: We Have Got It Because of PFAS
The article says nothing about PFAS. It states that bakers' parchment paper is treated with silicone.
But the truth is that a parchment paper is impossible without PFAS.
That is not true. Especially since TFA clearly dates the invention of parchment paper to 1847, nearly a century before the synthesis of PFAS.
How so? Parchment paper is cellulose impregnated with silicone.
The tl;dr of an article should be about the article.
