    Man I really hate having my food in plastics, I always have, but think about it. Meat comes in cellophane, cerial is in a plastic bag as are chips and other processed foods. Even something healthy like peanuts comes in a plastic jar. Virtually all food comes like that. I sweat a lot outside and I need a gluten free version of an electrolyte drink. I dare you to find one that comes without a plastic bottle. It feels like cutting out water in plastic bottles is a drop in the ocean.

      Oh yeah, it’s pretty terrible. Sometimes you can order meat from a deli/butcher counter and get it wrapped in wax paper but there’s the extra time spent to order it that way, and there’s a possibility that the wax is actually just plastic lining anyways.

      Regardless, if you can find an alternative that works for you, any reduction in plastic is a good thing. It all exists on a sliding scale.
