Since we are all full of microplastics, does that mean we are part dinosaur?
We are full of stars
I'd say no, because the microplastics aren't really a part of our DNA. But that's just my definition.
I think we could say that we all have dinosaurs inside us, just like our pesky skeletons.
But aren't like 50% of cells in your body bacteria? I'd say those are considered part of you. But I get what you are saying.
Does it need to be part of your DNA?
If I weigh 99 Kg, and I eat 1 Kg of ravioli, I am 1% ravioli.
Like I said, it's just the way I feel about it. Yours is a compelling argument though, and honestly more fun!
no, you'd be 69% ravioli
Plastic is almost entirely made from plants much older then dinosaurs, but if you ate a chicken on the other hand...
Does mechanically separated chicken count?
