Would you mind sharing links to prove your point? Let me know if you need more sources on micro plastics being spread through more ways than just water bottles. There are many results if you just search "micro plastics food".
Scary shit. They've even found microplastics in the placentas of unborn fetuses.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33395930/
I do not have a point that needs sourcing. The article quite simply does not discuss other sources of microplastics. It does not dismiss them either.
edit: Allow me to elaborate a little less formally. OP's initial comment straight up sounds like whatabaoutism by Big Bottled Water. It dismisses the microplastics in water bottles, pointing to other sources of microplastics. OP then claims that the article dismisses other sources, failing to provide any relevant quotes. Have I gone insane?
