    “Garbage Feeding” is the big reason. I’m glad to see this article giving it the attention it deserves.

    Human food that would otherwise go to waste is ground up into feed.

    You can see many videos where the plastic packaging is not removed and the whole thing gets ground up into the feed.

      I had no idea about this, thank you for the information. As the article says, my understanding is that the health impacts of microplastics are unknown. You seem knowledgeable, have you heard anything about the health impacts?
