Glass eating is a real thing with a surprising number of documented cases. In some cases it’s classified as Hyalophagia a form of Pica where people focus on glass, but it doesn’t necessarily have significant negative side effects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pica_(disorder)

There’s also a magic trick where people eat sugar that’s very clear and looks like glass, but that’s a different thing.

Your defense of how safe eating glass is, is to point out that mentally ill people sometimes do it?

[Retric]

No, I’m saying some mentally ill people consume vast quantities of glass and medical professionals are only concerned with the most extreme cases. It’s like saying the forces involved in a boxing match are a useful benchmark for brain trauma, on that scale a 6 month old infant punching you is so far below that benchmark you don’t need to worry about it.

Which means if you’re worried about consuming 1/100,000th as much it’s clearly not a big deal.
