    Is there anything saying microplastics are bad? I mean we and everything is full of them. What about food the food we eat is full of it so seems like a waste.

      In some studies Mircroplastics seem to be linked to skin cancer. And while no food will truly be 100% free of it, I believe like toxins, they build up each level of the food chain (Bio-accumulation). So eating big carnivorous fish like Tuna may be less healthy than beef which is less healthy than a vegan diet, but most research on Bio accumulation seems to be focused on marine life.
