Pretty sure they have found micro plastics in humans, its not just the micro plastics but also phthalates, hormone-disrupting chemicals that have been found in sea bird eggs and in cetaceans.
Yeah, it’s old news. We’re all full of plastic already, nowt to do with eating meat.

People comment about the absence of litter on our farm. They are so used to living amongst rubbish in towns. But we struggle to prevent the tide of rubbish that blows in from the adjoining A road. We sometimes do a litter pick along the verge but you just can’t get it all. Polystyrene crumbles, plastics fragment, you can’t get it all.
And there’s no real sincerity from top to bottom about doing anything about anything while the economic model relies on us generating more and more of this garbage.
