One-fourth of fish sold at markets contain man-made debris •  Perhaps theres a reason that fish tastes like an old T-shirt Roughly a quarter of the fish sampled from fish markets in California and Indonesia contained man-made debris -- plastic or fibrous material -- in their guts, according to a study from the University of California, Davis, and Hasanuddin University in Indonesia.

If you're eating them raw on a cracker at least flash freeze them first. All fish have worms.

So has anyone tried looking at fish flesh under a microscope to confirm or deny the Fantasy Media's claim?

I think at the time I was joking on how expensive plastic has become. You can pay $90 for a 12 inch cube plastic box.

Agreed. It's the same about "(ultra-)processed foods". Nobody can really define them, but suddenly they are the culprit for everything. I'd be skeptical of everything MSM. People have been conserving meat with huge doses of salt (sodium) forever, is this now a "processed food"? You can process food without making it unhealthy, just another umbrella term.
