The people feeding their families have done so without plastic for thousands of years. Even without plastic, they still have all other technological advancements available to them. Yes, it will get harder and it is unfair. But it’s entirely possible. And we can also fight that injustice. Tax the rich.

It’s a very interesting topic. But it’s really hard to study in humans. Due to the abundance of microplastics everywhere, it’s almost impossible to conduct controlled trials. It’s rather unethical to inject humans with plastic and cutting them open to look inside is also frowned upon (rightfully so). We can compare with historical measurements, but then, of course, we can’t isolate the effects of microplastics.
