poison in your food is so ubiquitous its borderline pedantic to have a fit about microplastics leeching into your water via an electric kettle (if that is even true). unless you are raising your own livestock feeding them organic grass and collecting water from your own pure artesian well and then passing it all through an RO filter then you are just another fucking faggot on 4channel bitching and moaning about muh toxins in muh goyslop but consuming them all the same anyway like the little fucking impotent ineffectual loser pawn you are

I do. I take great care to buy locally sourced food grown with as little pesticides as possible whenever I can. I don't eat fast food, I havent eaten at a restraunt in years. I have a well and run a test strip on the water twice a month. I grow tomatoes, onions, potatoes, and herbs in my garden. As well as avoid plastics, using glass instead. Yeah I get some microplastics but I do what I can to keep it to a minimum. Like X rays getting one every now and then is fine but constant high doses are bad. Thats why doctors and dentists leave the room, have it lead lined, and give you a lead vest for dental x-rays. They don't just say ahh its fine you get background radiation, radiation in bananas, radiation on flights, and etc. They minimize it as much as possible. Like any other saftey regulation, which exist because what do you know some things are actually more harmful than we think, like certain food additives, tobacco, radiation, asbestos, and so on.

Yeah I get you can buy non garbage tier food, but it all has metals and micro plastics are everywhere, so while it's good to reduce plastics overall it's pretty futile.
