In a decade we’re going to realize that the microplastic panic was a xenophobic scare and it actually just makes food taste better.
@kyle Add plastic eating bacteria to the yogurt to eat the plastics. Add bacteria eating paramecium to the oat meal to eat the bacteria. Seems like I've heard this story before.
@kyle My dude, this got a genuine LOL from me. I'm still giggling. Thank you.
@kyle seriously though, count me as a microplastics skeptic. Anything I’ve read seems to infer danger because we can detect it, not because it’s actually linked to something harmful
@nickoneill @kyle There's some evidence linking the rise in prostate cancer to microplastics building up in there. Still early days on that though.
@nickoneill this is also why it only occupies the joke portion of my brain, I haven't read a convincing explanation of why it's bad
@kyle If microplastics taste so good then why not eat a whole sized plastic? Checkmate.
