      I know folks, my boss and his family, who - if it doesn’t come from a box, powder, and/or plastic bag, will not be eating it. It’s really sad and I eat whole food in front of him all the time in hopes…

        I had a relative once say that she’s vegetarian, won’t eat animals. I point out the chicken she’s eating and has always eaten, and she says “It’s from the grocery store, not an animal”. We had to have a long chat. People too divorced from real food and its sources, have some weird assumptions.

        My friends mom has been trying the opposite- shes trying to avoid buying any plastic packaged food. Not so much out of concern for microplastics, but as a way to reduce her environmental impact.

        Its also helped her eat much healthier- most candy is out, all her veggies are fresh instead of frozen, fresh meats instead of prepackaged ones, etc.
