A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.

There has yet to be a solid study showing negative health effects from plastic. Yes, it is EVERYWHERE now, and that's definitely not a good thing. But it's not like we have any real signs of it causing disease or cancer.
Not true
Unless something has come out in the last year or two, yes it is. There are all sorts of studies showing micro plastics have gotten pretty much everywhere in our bodies, in the soil, in the rain, but no major study has yet to correlate that with any kind of health issues
Population studies would be easiest, but you can't do those because there are no populations that aren't saturated by microplastics.
There is science that shows plastics in our bodies inhibit proper function.
