    Since we are all full of microplastics, does that mean we are part dinosaur?

      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?
