Do you have a source for that claim?

  Nope, but given the prevalence of plastics in human households, packaging materials and the fact that we literally eat with plastic forks and straws and drink from plastic cups...I'd say you're getting a lot more plastic in your diet than a wild salmon off the Alaskan coast.

    That doesn't intuitively make sense to me. I'd say for 90% of the packaging of various products I consume, the plastic has been wrapped around the product for a very short time. I imagine consuming something that has involved multiple steps of digestion of plastics is probably not the same. It's a bit like comparing water that I put in plastic container a few days ago to water that's been bottled and sitting there for weeks or months. I'm not saying there's a difference there, just that at least intuitively it seems that way to me. so a source for such a claim is pretty crucial.
