You're eating with a plastic utensil.
You are eating parts of that plastic.
That food that you're eating was probably made in an industrial kitchen, depending on where it came from, chopped on plastic cutting boards, potentially saved in plastic containers, delivered to you in a plastic container.
You may be putting it in a plastic container.
You may be heating it up in a plastic container in the microwave.
Every step of the way, those things are interacting and leaching.
Even brushing our teeth.
even brushing your teeth.
Dentists and the, you know, that whole community has found, and that's part of why the one piece of federal legislation that has been passed about the Microbeads Act, I think from 2015, was to ban microbeads in personal care products because dentists were literally finding microplastics under the gums in people's mouths.

These things have been known over time, and they have definitely been proven.
