I grew up doing X and it didn't kill me is a really weak argument. Many people do DANGEROUS_THING and don't die! But statistics don't work that way (+ survival bias if you want). The thing is, the world is really diverse. In some countries like Japan they eat A LOT of fish, but I'd say it's mainly fish and not seashells. In Valencia (Spain) and nearby towns for example there's a lot of mussels and we also eat many small fried whole fish, which I can see how they probably have a larger chance of containing plastic than a piece of fish meat. And that is Spain and Japan, developed countries. There are lots of places where people cannot choose what to eat. And she is not even saying NOT to eat fish, she just says she doesn't eat, the reasons ("with a substance we still don’t really understand") and a possible solution: - There are steps we can take on the community level to make seafood safer. We can demand stricter and more specific labeling guidelines from federal food agencies and fish distributors. - the only ways to mitigate the problem are to reduce our reliance on single-use items and avoid products wrapped in excessive packaging.
