CR (Consumer Reports) - How to eat less plastic (February 2024 edition)
The consumer can have a little plastic, as a treat
Ah. Like having a cheat day. On tuesdays, just have a little plastic toppings on your tacos…
Thought of this community as soon as this issue hit my eyes for the first time last week.
Not “how to stop eating plastic”…just how to eat less…cuz we all have to eat some…

Have you tried diet plastic?
It needs to be heaping, friend. Then you’ll never be hungry again, like this bird:
warning: dead bird
How could a bird live for any amount of time with that much plastic in it? I would think that one pointy pink piece alone would be enough to rupture their stomach and kill it
Ever shot a grouse?
I did as a wee human in the mountains and boy oh boy was I surprised at how much was in its belly when we cut it open.
