Microplastics are ‘silently spreading from soil to salad to humans’. Agricultural soils now hold around 23 times more microplastics than oceans. Microplastics and nanoplastics have now been found in lettuce, wheat and carrot crops.

1. So we’re all the way fucked then?

2. [Oh well](https://ih1.redbubble.net/image.256775008.1869/fposter,small,wall_texture,product,750×1000.u3.jpg)

3. Sounds like a piece to disenfranchise healthy eating, meat is way more contaminated.

4. I wonder if there would be a big different between cooking those vegetables and eating them raw

5. This is why I don’t feel guilty not contributing to things like a 401k. We really don’t have much time left on this planet living a “normal” existence

6. I wonder if we will develop a mutation to a digestive enzyme that can rid the body of these?

7. 8-year-old me was right – eating vegetables really IS bad for me.

8. Microplastics have already been found in many of our organs and brains, so I would assume they would be there as well I guess.
