whispers you’re eating polymers. The bad part of gum.

It’s the same statement with extra steps. To pretend otherwise is to be willfully ignorant.

If you eat celery or beans, I’ve got bad news for you

Your first link is about micro plastics, and they even say not all brands have them. So if a product is made of plastic and doesn’t always contain micro plastics (which are found in the air and water and soil and foods), then…polymers might not actually be plastics sometimes. Or in gum, many times.

Also silk, wool, cellulose, protein

Well, not quite. You’d have to have rights to the land to do that. Else someone could ride up and just take it from you.

So then it’s not worse?

Polymer != Plastic. Plastic is a polymer, but not all polymers are plastic. Wtf is this source.

To be fair, the line between those two is pretty thin. One does imply the other. You drawing a gulf between them is silly to me.

That’s not what blue collar/white collar crime is

If you do it for side money, you’re only accomplishing that by fucking someone else over. Otherwise you wouldn’t make money.
