>You are far more likely to die of eating too much and getting too fat than whatever microplastics are supposedly doing to you.
Funny how you can imply that we are still in the dark about how microplastics and other toxins or chemicals (in our food or water supply, for instance) actually affect our health, and, at the same time, assert with such confidence that something else is more likely to kill you. You don't know how A is really affecting you, yet you're saying that surely B is affecting you to a greater degree than A? Are you incapable of seeing the incoherence and bias here?
>it's largely due to the fact that we're succumbing to diseases of lifestyle that are entirely within our control as individuals.
Yet another unfounded assertion to protect your dismissive standpoint. Man, I'm glad you decided against becoming a scientist, phew.
>folks, take a step back and realize...
>Worry about that, not...
No. The issues the user you replied to are legitimately concerning and I don't think it's reasonable to dismiss his worries, which many people share, especially through such an unscientific and biased way of thinking.
I agree you can worry about two or more things, but the delta in world quality 50 years ago vs. now is not tremendous and not obviously negative; microplastics play a very small part in it either way. If one shouldn’t bring kids into the world now one probably should also believe their own birth was a mistake.
