Actually that hyper awareness is probably a good thing. Those docs show real problems that get ignored. Maybe we should be more suspicious of convenient plastic, not less.
So we're all just gonna act like jake_coleman is wrong? My aunt reuses those flimsy takeout containers until they're foggy and cracked. That's not being careful, that's being cheap and kinda gross. The plastic breaks down. You're eating old food gunk and microplastics for lunch. Saving a bag doesn't fix the real problem.
