Meh. Gonna die anyways. I'm probably 40% plastic by now. Might as well bump it up.
I reckon the hot dogs, pizza and other junk I'm having often are going to kill me faster than plastic is.
"the air we breathe is a poisonous fume"
Pretty much will turn into a cancer monstrosity in about 10 years. I really don't care. Death is inevitable.
The air we breathe also has microplastics, apparently ... https://beehaw.org/post/8279644
After 30 years of putting plastic in the microwave … I think I'm fine, definitely not worrying about my sperm count ;)
Obviously, it's good they study this, but apparently the microplastic is already in everything and we don't really know what it's doing to humans. Good luck, trying to convince the fossil fuel industry to produce less plastic.
