    the microplastics and hormone effects will definitely show up in the meat. Plastic is already in almost everything we eat and drink but this is probably much more concentrated and unhealthy than most other sources that humans consume.

      According to this post/study, there definitely is microplastic in the meat, though less than I would’ve thought (it’s possible the meat tested was from a state that doesn’t allow plastic being in the feed).

        Thanks for the link, this is a massively underreported issue. Every time i remember how bad the situation is (immune system issues, infertility rates, pregnancy issues, etc) i kinda freak out until i forget about it again so i can stay sane…
