The pieces are all coagulating in the oceans and are killing off the seas in large rafts. They can be seen from space. Believe you now and hear me later.

I think plastic can be dissolved in water. We don’t see things dissolved in water.

If it’s in food, it might be mixed and surrounded by food and its color might not stand out.

Life will find a way. I’d be surprised if there isn’t various strains of bacteria that have learned how to chow down on this highly available source of food.

The plastics might act as endocrine disrupters and cause hormone issues.

Ho hum, another day, another panic. If you live long enough, you’re bound to die of something.

I’v never trusted plastic bottles.

Not sure if canned foods are any better but they no longer do glass ones

All of that plastic in you increases your risk of spontaneous combustion, too.

Dozens of people spontaneously combust every year. It’s just not widely reported.

Those aren't microplastics, they're electroytes.
They're what plants crave.
