Anyone here use cast iron pans and skillets?

We are trying to become more self sufficient, literally altering every aspect of our lives that we can. So I've been debating switching over to cast iron (I've read that if cared for properly that they can last 75+ years), but I've never used it before. Is it worth the switch? Got any pros and cons for me?

Many popular diaper brands contain pthalates

This is particularly harmful to little boys. The genital area is the thinnest layer of skin where it is easily and it has been known to hinder their organ development and cause infertility (it impacts little girls too) Many sanitary pads have been found to have them too so women.
