Just wanna pop in real quick and point out we didn’t have plastic in the food production pipline at all for about 9,900 years out of the last 10,000-ish.
We absolutely could eliminate plastic if we had the will. Literally 99% of our history or more has been without plastic.
9,900 of the last 10,000 years we haven’t been able to produce enough food for everyone. Industrialization changed that. I think we still prefer some plastic contamination over droves of people starving to death. But it’s gonna be hard to have both, in the short term at least.

Citation needed. Lots of Romans ate fast food. Y’all just trying to find every excuse to not change anything.
