When you buy fries at a fast-food restaurant like McDonalds, the fries are served in a little container that is made of paper covered by a thin plastic layer [1]. Microscopic amounts of that plastic will get on the hot fries, and you will ingest it.
The same, of course, holds for other hot food products, like fried chicken, consumed in such containers.
Of course, the overall discussion is about microplastics in grocery store foods, but I think the above is what the thread OP meant.
[1]likely the vast majority of french fries in the world are consumed in this manner
- globular-toast 3y agoMust be a cultural thing because like the other commenter I had no idea what was being talked about here. When I have fries/chips they come from a deep fat frier and are served on a plate. Kinda hilarious that people would be like "omg McDonald's is bad for you?"
- whoknowsidont 3y agoThe containers are not a McDonald's only thing, but they are the most consumed french fries on the planet. So it's not really a cultural thing? It's definitely a global phenomenon. >omg McDonald's is bad for you? Now you're just being dense on purpose.
