Microblog Memes

I don't know. There's a lot of plastic in the ocean, and as far as I know there are ways for it to go back into the rest of the ecosystem like water does, so plants will probably gather it as well. Less than animals but still some.

Regardless of whether you eat meat or not, you will get some of it in your system. Whether that's bad, and how much of it could cause issues is still unknown. From what I know there aren't any studies that state what effect microplastics have on our bodies. Probably because you would need a significant amount of people without any in their bodies as a base group, and with how much plastic is used by us every day that would be difficult to find.

Although, eating less meat is generally healthier, better for the ecosystem and cheaper (especially if you grow stuff, even in small pots near a window) so if you can switch to vegan/vegetarian diet without any health problems, you should give it a try but be mindful of your diatery needs, it's easy to not get enough vitamins or proteins if you don't plan your meals well which could lead to anaemia. Even if it doesn't work for you, at least you will know more recipes.

Also, I'm not a scientist, biologist or anyone with any credibility in this field, I'm a software developer and my biology is on high school level, so take everything I said here with a grain of salt since I may be wrong.
