Like, I really love having plastic shampoo bottles because it's a danger to handle glass with wet, soapy hands. But for food? I won't even use plastic cutting boards because who wants microparticals of plastic with their chopped veggies and turkey dinner? It amazes me how clueless most people are about eating off of, microwaving food in, and storing food in plastic - or really, about the myriad of problems all plastic cause.
