Saying we shouldn’t try to clean it up because some animals made a home on some plastic is a comically bad attempt to use concern for nature against people.

@MP-vc4nu True, these animals they worry about will adapt and outlive most humans despite changing environments.

@kungfutzu3779 Oh there’s enough research on the harm that micro and nano plastics do to animals and people.

Never buy any foods from China. So much fake honey comes from there. Most of the honey in supermarkets is cheap, Chinese trash that has little to no nutrition and usually has added corn syrup and coloring added. Similar to how most maple syrup is just corn syrup and food coloring, not that real maple syrup is good for you either, but at least tastes better.

“Super food” is a meaningless marketing term. Seriously, it’s just a buzzword. It’s why merry everything eventually gets called a superfood

@devinnorsworthy9154 Yeah no. It doesn’t increase stem cell production by 50% and being antimicrobial doesn’t mean it fights diseases in your body when ingested. Its antimicrobial properties are minimal and the effect is quickly gone once mixed with gastric juices and other foods. Sugar and salt ate antimicrobial, doesn’t mean eating a bunch of sugar is going to curse any disease. If anything, consuming more than a small amount of antimicrobial agents can kill off good gut bacteria and cause all sorts of health problems.

Great but they do this everywhere so I don’t see why this is news

@stuartd9741 Yeah it doesn’t make any sense. Sure the top priority should be to stop plastic waste from being disposed of carelessly but that’s a massive effort distributed across all countries, concentrated in dozens of poor ones which are too corrupt and/or focused on basic survival to care about plastic waste. So the best return on effort is to force companies making plastic packaging to stop, globally. This won’t get rid of all of it but most of it. They could easily go back to glass, use organic plastics, wax paper, etc.

Imagine wasting all that effort and money to make a piece of garbage like the Bentayga

Imagine if they used birth control and didn’t have a million kids, making human labor and human life cheap

So they recycle plastic into products you don’t need, which won’t be recycled, and pretend that’s somehow sustainable or good for the environment. People need to stop falling for this greenwashing BS

@FoulballProductions Environmentalism is a scam, a political power and cash grab. Concern for the environment is good but turning it into a cult is just a grift.

@maclee5381 Sounds like made up issues. I think it’s just an irrational attachment to the old school way of doing things. And that’s fine, but just admit that’s what it is.

@alexnope2223 Rare means there is a small amount relative to other things. Doesn’t mean it’s hard to produce. iPhones are hard to produce but they’re everywhere because the economics mean the effort is put in to make them common despite their complexity

@feilox And you think every piece of every food is lab tested to know exactly how much of every macro and micronutrient is in it? No, doesn’t work that way. In fact, the FDA allows nutrition labels on food to be off by as much as 20% in either direction, that’s a huge spread. And while NIST food label testing is accurate to within 2-5%, those tests aren’t done one every batch much less every item, they’re done on a sample sent for testing to get the nutrition label information certified for packaged food items. That sample could be off compared to where actually made.
