    It is stuff like this that makes me wonder how they can get away with this stuff.

    Some of us will look at fish and find it gross that they swim in their own waste but humanity is doing the same thing with plastic which does not even break down for hundreds of years.

      @Gamers_Mate yeah we’re modifying ourselves and not in a good way.

      I think this article makes a very good point that by not studying children in LICs we are likely seriously underestimating the scope of the problem.
