Plastic in your dinner

[Howard Dryden]

A friend once asked me, “Is that water in your bottle or is the bottle in  your water?” I was like, what? You do not make any sense!  In this article, we shall discuss the hidden plastic on our dinner table,  inside our food, water, alcohol, air; everywhere. What is wrong with a  bottle of water made of plastic? The Plastic Bottle? Of course, this is not  wrong, but what else? After you have drunk your water, Will you eat  the plastic bottle? Maybe not? Most of us do not prefer to eat plastic. Yet you just drank some plastic.  Did you know that 83% of tap water sampled were contaminated with  plastic particles, even bottled water? You can’t see the plastic but it’s  there. And plastic is found in unusual places, even in my favourite  dinner of 􀁢sh and chips. One-third of 􀁢sh caught in the English Channel  have plastic contamination. Did you know that sea salt, honey, beer,  mussels, even chicken and air?  Plastic is the water I am drinking, the food I am eating, alcohol I am  drinking and the air I am breathing. Literally everything on my dinner  plate — has some plastic in it. I did not believe this. I am not a scientist  and I contacted all the best universities to help me 􀁢nd out if this is  true. However, I did not have the budget to hire their labs and then I  went to Amazon, got a microscope for £20 and started sampling tap  water. It is simple, you can do it too.This is what you will 􀁢nd,  “micro􀁢bers”. These are tiny plastic 􀁢bres that leach out of our 􀁣eece  jackets while washing.
