I think part of the reason even if for the time being the microplastics from cutting boards et al seem to be doing nothing to us there are valid reasons to fear, like knowing that the companies who produce these plastics have previously lied or tried to cover up harmful health effects of their other types of plastic or plastic ingredients, while wood is still just the same old wood we've had forever. What you should be wary of though is plastic pretending to be wood if you want to go wood. With the increasingly sour reputation of plastics, a lot of companies are producing "wooden" products that are basically just finely chopped wood or bamboo suspended in plastic and calling it eco friendly.
