How do you keep microplastics out of your food?
>>
>>77470960
The only way is to homestead because grocery stores are all wrapped in plastic
>>
>>77470960
i dont live in america, africa, or asia. not an issue for me.

>The only way is to homestead because grocery stores are all wrapped in plastic
The soil you're growing those plants in is also infested with them, and the plants pick them up. The water that rains on your crops is filled with them. The only way to ACTUALLY keep them out of your food would be to live in an underground sterile facility with specialised filtered water and air, bring in specialised treated dirt, and grow plants under lamp light without ever exposing them to the surface or outside.
>>
>>77470990
Yes, it is.
>>
>>77471006
nope, i dont eat plastic, i dont use shampoo, and i use roll on deodorant. if i say its not an issue for me then it means it isnt. i wake up feeling great every day.

I don't, I gave up and just inject steroids now.
I guess I could still get cancer from them but that's something I'm willing to RNG and just hope I don't
>>
>>77470960
I heard that the average American ingests up to 8oz of microplastics each year so Jan 1, I eat a half pound of plastic right away to get it over with

>specialised filtered water
It's called RODI. It's not uncommon. You can install these at home.
>air
HEPA filter, also not uncommon, however probably not necessary if you're living underground, depending on the situation there.
> specialised treated dirt
This is difficult as techniques to get rid of microplastics often also destroy the bacteria that is essential to fertile soil, so you'd probably have to reintroduce the bacteria afterwards. The non-destructive techniques often aren't very thorough.

>the microplastic brain rot has gotten this far
lmao
>>
>>77470960
>How do you keep microplastics out of your food?
you can't really.
but you can give your microplastics and other things you don't want in your body to other people via blood and plasma donation
>>
>>77470960
sulfurophane
fermented food
suana
i can only aneecdotally vouch for 'greens powder', like an essential greens, that an anon once recommended for a heavy metals cleanse.
>>
>>77470960
Its not plastic's fault you're a bitch
>>
>>77470960
should i account for microplastics in my calorie tracker?
>>
>>77470960
that's the good part, you don't.
it's in the air, it's in the water.
unless you somehow completely decontaminated your soil and water supply, alongside any fertilizer you add. you literally can't get away from it.
>>77472134
microplastics settle into organ tissue, you can't remove them.
>>
>>77471019
the keyboard you're typing this on is made of plastic
the mouse you used to click into this thread is made of plastic
the chair you are sitting on is made of plastic
the clothes you are wearing right now are made of plastic
the an hero method you are going to use after having an schizophrenic meltdown is very likely to involve something plastic-made

Reverse osmosis filters use plastics and introduce their own nanoplastics into the filtered water
>>
>>77470960
In 50 years they're going to talk about plastics the same way we talk about lead paint and leaded gas and asbestos
>>
>>77470960
You don't. It's in the air. It's literally already in your balls and brain.
Personally I have embraced the plastics, call it plasticmaxxing.
>>
>>77472611
I hope it's not as bad as those.
You could avoid the 'bestos but you can't avoid the plastics.
We can only hope the effects are benign, so far it's been about 30 years since it's been a known issue and there is nothing obvious linked to them...yet
>>
>>77470960
Nigger, those are MACROplastics, you can't even see microplastics with a naked eye because they're small enough to fit in between your blood cells.
>>
>>77472352
good thing i dont put any of those things in my mouth.
you will genuinely do more harm to yourself worrying about plastic inside of you than i will from actually ingesting plastic.
>>
>>77472352
me: i sure do enjoy waking up feeling happy, healthy, and carefree every day, ready to enjoy the beautiful world
you: REEEEE YOU ARE EATING TINY INVISIBLE MURDER CHEMICALS, YOU ARE SCHIZOPHRENIC AND WILL KILL YOURSELF IN A MENTAL BREAKDOWN
>>
>>77470960
you pretty much cant escape plastic nowadays, but you can reduce your exposure. Never use plastic or derivatives such as teflon in cooking, dont use plastic containers, do not touch receipts etc. Sauna and doanting blood are good ways to detoxify according to some people. Some suggest that the fiber in carrots are great for that. But basically dont get too worked up on it beyond basic shit such as not eating on plastic, not touching receipts -do not sweat this either- and not wearing plastic, ie polyester.

First off your picture is what would be called Macroplastics, Microplastics are 1000 times smaller than those. So small they can't be seen without the Microscope.
Secondly, its nearly impossible for an individual to keep microplastics out of their food as microplastics are too small for you to detect unaided. Most of the microplastics you will ingest will come from plastics already in a landfill before you were born breaking down and seeping into ground water and then being absorbed into your food through that water. This is true for both plant and animal based foods.

The containers your foods come in or how you prepare your food has little to no impact on how much microplastics end up in your body. Nearly all food available today is laced with some amount of Microplastics, they are endemic across the globe at this point, they're in the food you eat and the water you drink, there is no escaping them.

>little to no impact on how much microplastics end up in your body
little to no impact means a lot of impact.
each stage of the development of a plant source, leading to food for a meat source, leading to processing and logistical transportation adds more plastics.
Your poop, is processed, turned into fertilizer with the majority of microplastics still in it. Which in turn exponentially increases the plastics within plant sources ad infinite.
lurk moar before posting.

>>77474654
Nope, but isn't it pretty to think so? Like if you pretend you have some control its almost less scary.
>>
>>77470960
Eat small doses of plastic every day to build up immunity.
>>
>>77472589
Only if the parts are degraded. With regular maintenance, this isn't an issue. Most people are absolute retards about RODI maintenance though.
If you're that paranoid, you can just set up a distillery.
>>
>>77474669
You'll have to cope anon.
>>
>>77474680
We all will.
>>
>>77474669
yup, like just pay your taxes and the weather gods won't claim your life lol
>>
>>77472796
>Sauna and doanting blood are good ways to detoxify according to some people.
Some really dumb people.
Saunas don't do shit.
Donating blood is dumb as fuck. Let's say you donate 10% of your blood, or one pint. You now have 10% less microplastics. Sounds great right? Except now you have to replace that blood. How do you do that? You eat more food and drink more water... a.k.a. your primary source of microplastics.
>>
>>77474686
there is a literal citation for donating blood not working.
firefighter study, donated blood, drastic drop in PUFA amount for x amount of months, returned to baseline average after x months.
It seems the body is able to filtrate the largest amount of microplastics, but it will always have a set amount at this point.

You don't. Eat kimchi.
>>
>>77474736
Interesting
>>
>>77474736
Thanks, Kim

>>77474736
This does not translate into clinical relevance for people retard
>>
People make schizo posts about microplastics and then go out of their way to eat grains, onions, oils and other shit that contains orders of magnitude more estrogen analogues than our natural diet. I tuned them out long ago. Drinking from their glass water purifiers to go with their grainslop and avocado lmao.
>>
>>77470960
donate blood, sweat, use as little plastic as possible
>>
>>77476142
false dichotomy btw
>>
nobody ITT came to say not use plastic cutting boards lmao
also eat kimchi and do sauna 4x a week
>>
>>77474686
brian johnson literally did a self test and removed microplastics from his balls
not gonna spoonfeed you tho gl

why avoid plastics when you can save the environment! Just sprinkle some insect protein powder on 'em and WALA a tasty goy treat for all the health conscious environmentalists
>>
>>77472352
I will use a 100% natural rope made of horse-tail fibre. No microplastics for me!
