Why go out around people when its not needed?
Its probably just me since ive not had any restaurant food in like 6-7 years if you discount hospital food. So, where does your food come from....

I get the concern. I've been cautious, too. But sometimes, the craving for that favorite dish is real! I try to balance it - occasional takeout for a treat while mostly cooking at home, using ingredients like barley powder that adds flavor. Stay safe and spud-tacular!

On the same line as food safety. Should I be worried about the micro plastics in the water I drink? I consume almost all my water from Dasani or Aquafina bottles. What is not clear to me is the source of micro plastics in bottled water. Is it the container, the original source of the water or not adequate filtering if even possible of the bottled water? To the Op's original question, I liken it to people giving their pets clean drinking water 24/7, when they have zero hesitation to drink right out of the toilet, which then begs the question, how in the world did dogs survive say a thousand years ago, when "clean" water essentially did not exist? I think our obsessions may actually reduce long term our ability to adapt and survive,

Its probably just me since ive not had any restaurant food in like 6-7 years if you discount hospital food. Same here. I don't eat the crappy stuff from MOST places, and I don't trust the hands that having been touching the stuff. Admittedly, if I wasn't so ocd about what I eat (nutrition wise), I'd eat out occasionally for the convenience.
Facts are stubborn things.

I know the fast-food perception is everything is horrible, but if so, that begs the question, why are we all still alive?

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
