I don't seriously think that it's being ignored or downplayed. It's been studied for decades. There isn't anything that can be done to any measure that would change anything. Firstly, EVERYONE on the planet would have to jump on board. Not gonna happen.
Secondly, just because its come to your attention in the last couple of decades doesn't mean it started that recently. As soon as plastics started to be used in industry and by the consumer, it was over.
Just take a look around you. It isn't the ocean you're worried about? Then the water you drink should be a concern. The air you breath (yes they're in the air).
Like I already said, you aren't going to change anything are you? If so, how? You drink water and eat food that has been drinking water or processed in said water.

Every time you wash your clothes you're contributing to the global tonnage of plastic bits of the no-see-um type.
As I stated, we're passed the point of no return on this one. Do what you think you can. Preach your gospel. Don't expect miracles tho'.


Plastics aren't going away. Except the outcome. Sorry. I'd love for things to be different. But they aren't going to change in the right direction. It's chasing the proverbial bubble under a piece of plastic.
Talk all you like, you're might as well speak to your plastic screen.

Like I said, you can chomp on all the plastic you want inside your sea bugs. I'm not sure why you keep straw manning that I was arguing shrimp are the sole source of microplastics.

I never said anything of the nature. But, seafood definitely has a lot of microplastics.

Should have just done this the first time:

Actually, you are blatantly wrong. U.S. wild-caught shrimp is not shipped overseas to slave-labor peeling sheds — that's an issue with some imported farmed shrimp, not U.S. product. Domestic processors are regulated and inspected, not "cages and slavery." The idea that America has "more slavery today than in 1860" is absurd (4 million then vs. tens of thousands of trafficking cases now). And no — the "clean seafood goes only to the rich while the public gets the toxic leftovers" is a conspiracy claim. All seafood sold in the U.S. must meet FDA/NOAA safety limits for mercury and contaminants, period. Fukushima radiation hasn't tainted U.S. shrimp either. Bottom line: U.S. wild-caught shrimp is safe, not tied to slavery, and not part of some poisoned-for-the-masses scheme.

How many undocumented workers are in the U.S. today?

NO ONE KNOWS.

Heck, the Government said they were going to investigate the 40 million visas they have active, and then over the course of a few days said they were going to investigate the 55 million visas they have active. No one has a clue.

Of people enslaved in the U.S. today, what percentage of those people are undocumented?

Can you believe it. Omaha, Nebraska had NO SLAVERY AT ALL...until, whoops. They totally had an entire ring of it.

What unsealed documents say was really going on at 4 Omaha-area hotels targeted by FBI

Court documents detail drug use, exploitation, prostitution and trafficking at Omaha hotels part of major investigation.
omaha.com omaha.com

What about White Hawk Carriers Inc? The one with the undocumented driver from India who just killed a bunch of people? Who owns that? How many similar companies has that person been associated with that shut down before? How many violations and labor concerns have these companies been involved in?

And...this is just stories from this last week.

If you don't pay attention to the topic, that's cool. If you trust everything the government tells you, that's cool.

Everything is fine. Nothing to see, here.
 
But, I heard today that it was in fact the containers, not the shrimp.

So, one mystery solved, but a whole new can of nightmare worms has been opened.

How did Cesium 137 get into the containers? Why were the containers reused, let alone for food? Who was shipping with them before this? What were they shipping? Why? Why was cesium detected at 4 different U.S. ports?

If it was the containers, the problem might show up in other imported products that use the same shipping company. Maybe the containers were forged from scrap metals that included some medical waste. Many years ago there was a model of radioactive metal tissue paper holders that actually made it onto shelves at a well known US retailer. The consensus was that these holders were made from this kind of scrap metal gumbo.

Remember when those military drones were searching for something a couple months ago?

P.s. when I go missing for longer than a week you'll know I got alphabetically filed away.

Hey boss, you brought the plastic shrimp up. We were talking about radioactivity.

It's in your water man. That's where the shrimp are getting it from ...you and your plastic using life right? Cows have them, pigs, chickens....everything does because of the water and the air we breath.
You're making the fuss not us.

**Edit to add

Microplastics are in fruits and veggies too. I'll let you google it. But WATER and soil and even the air has them. Suck it all in plastic man. It's not just for shrimp anymore.

Makes one wonder about all the metals recycling and where it ends up, doesn't it?

I would assume that all the reputable steel makers do scans for stuff like that, during the sorting process. But perhaps I'm naive, on that, given the sheer volumes they have to deal with.

From what I gathered, it sounds more like it's leftover residue.
I have a suspicion this is one of those stories that we're never going to really ever find out what the fudge happened, haha.
Kind of like those Chinese nationals that had student visas, and were bringing in restricted biological samples of agricultural diseases...

"Whatever happened with that?"

I simply joke about it as yet another reason why I'm not going to eat ze sea bugs.

Meanwhile, you've just been going on and on and on about it. I'm not even sure why.

Like I said, I'm not going to stop you from living in ze pod, or eating ze bugs. I'm sure you and Klaus are right, and I'll end up in ze pods, too, eating ze bugs, and none of us will own anything, and we'll be happy. Until then, hard pass on ze sea bugs.

People have been eating crustaceans well before the globalists came on the scene.

I live in the Great Plains, (beef country) and while I don't eat lobster, crab or shrimp, I do eat canned Alaska salmon and every once in awhile some Campbell's New England Style Clam Chowder. I won't eat tuna, though, hate the smell. The missus will eat tuna, though.
 
The closest I get to imported fish (and I eat a lot of fish) is what flies in direct on a Salmon-Thirty-Salmon. There aren't any hookers involved, so there goes the slavery angle.

My final "fun" fact: Japan has one of the (I think actually THE) highest rates of parasitism of any industrialized nation because they eat raw seafood. The spread of sushi has similarly spread increased parasitism across the industrialized world, hahaha.

Is there a cite for this?
