I have seen cloth bags put on the grocery counter, that I would not want pig feed put in them.. looks like they have never been washed.. and then washing does not get rid of lots of germs..and etc..I worked in a large grocery chain when plastic bags were forced upon us.. and customers wanted to know if they could bring in their used paper bags, and the answer was no as they would carry germs..

Um, duh? It took them long to figure out that if you use a reusable bag to hold meat, that bacteria would end up soaking in and settling? Common sense and there’s a reason that when loading groceries, a cashier is supposed to put the meat in a separate bag.

But if you have to wash them after each use isn’t that “bad” for the environment as well?

Au contraire.

The greenies #1 objective is to reduce the human population by 90%.

Every little bit helps.

Don’t re-use them more than 75 times and you should be Okay.

I limit it to 50. And if they are used to hold raw meat I like to rinse them out every 25 cycles.
