Ugh.

fluids should be around two 3rds of what you consume every day by weight. Reducing microplastics in there by 80% is a huge improvement, not at all comparable to your dieting allegory
for the same reason, the microplastics we breathe in are unfortunate, hopefully some day eradicated, but negligible compared to what we consume
it's not my fault your country still allows lead based solder and you don't know what a tea pot is. Hot tip: You can boil your water every day in it.
Again, people can care about 2 things at once. Just because I don't have any idea how to deal with the great pacific garbage patch doesn't mean I might as well eat the plastic wrapper with my food inside it.
