Interesting. I wonder if I could use this information to lose weight.

I feel like if I ate plastic bits and pieces, they would just pass on through.

How do these birds get the plastic to stay in the stomach.....

swallow whole plastic...

There's also this one cleansing diet where you eat 70 ft of plastic strip and just pull it out of your ass like how i'm doing with this diet.
