There is a cool conspiratorial take on it.
This plastic epidemic is not an accident- it's population control.
Plastic is fundamentally tied to endocrine disrupting chemicals, endocrine disrupting chemicals interfere with testosterone, and reduce fertility. Furthermore, that reduction in fertility is passed down epigenetically, compounding with each generation.
I don't understand why people waste their time imagining chemtrails when the plastic endocrine disruptor theory is so close at hand, and the consequence of it is easily proven. The only part that is a conspiracy is the part you can't prove anyway.

- jazzyjackson 8y agoI find it more likely that plastic is just a dope material for cheap, durable manufacturing, but I do appreciate having another conspiracy to put in my pocket.
- i88y6 8y agoThere are definitely health risks. Look at all the bottles that have the "BPA-free" disclaimer on them.
- ryanwaggoner 8y agoThe fact that they’re advertising to consumers that they’re BPA free is itself not enough to conclude that there is definite harm. It may just be that consumers prefer to buy BPA free versions, science be damned. My understanding is that vaccines often don’t contain thiomersal anymore because of unsubstantiated consumer fears, not any demonstrated health risk.

- yawz 8y agoDon't attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity/incompetence/ignorance.
- estebank 8y agoThe corollary being that sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice.
- jachee 8y agoThat's fantastic. Do you happen to have an attribution?
- armandososa 8y agoIt should be called the estebank corollary from now on.
- estebank 8y agoI can't claim it, as it is just a conjunction of Clarke's third law and Hanlon's razor :)
- mortenjorck 8y agoI can't find an actual citation (apart from Wikipedia, which cites a book), but it's known as Grey's Law.
- estebank 8y agoIt seems to be "Grey's Law", but with hazy attribution. It is a conjunction of Clarke's third law and Hanlon's razor.
- colordrops 8y agoAnd the other corollary is that the malicious use the phrase to fool the stupid.

- simonebrunozzi 8y agoOccam's razor suggests you're completely wrong.
