1. Wouldn't that just pass through the system? The dogs crap out bits of plastic

(and other non-food items) all the time.

2. Hey, what's the big deal?

If the fish out in the Atlantic and Pacific can eat plastic bits from the two gyres that are floating out there, then why can't we?

If it's not a problem for them, then it shouldn't be a problem for us, right?

And just in case: :sarcasm:

3. But it's all natural plastic, I'm sure.

Picked in Hawaii by real Hawaiians.

A-OK with me!
