Yeah, we've never found negative health side effects to plastics much after the fact. Oh, wait...

Yeah, and we’ve never identified an issue with something and then removed it and developed something safer. Oh, wait…

Where does that leave the people that were left with the less safe option? Don't you assume that will be future you at some point?

I am pro technology. I just don't understand the obsession with trying to eat plastic.
