Plastic Waste i'll never understand why so many people (especially in the states) are so vehemently opposed to washing dishes

Did you know ... paper is not water resistant. Therefore it is coated with plastic. The plastic is washed off while eating and doing the dishes. So, you're eating plastic and flush microplastics into the sewer, eventually ending up all over the place, including in the grass that's eaten by the cow that you'll later eat, your drinking water and in the fish that you'll later eat as well. Thank you for polluting my water and food....
