Yes, when you use a spoon to get the food out. Often times the exterior wall is being scraped. Additionally, lead can probably deposit onto your food during the cooking process due to diffusion.

Don't use metal utensils on any of your cookware except stainless steel your cookware and don't serve yourself food like a god damn caveman. Problem solved.

Whatever helps you sleep at night, but even if you are perfect and don't expose yourself to lead via scraping, you are neglecting that diffusion is always adding poisonous amounts of lead into your food as long as you use it. I am not sure why this thread is upsetting you so much; lead has been a publicly poisonous substance for years.

This is what will help me sleep at night.

But consumers need not fret in the dark. The FDA maintains a list of products it has tested that have revealed lead contamination. The good news: Not a single crockpot is listed.
