unintended consequences
What about sandwich bags?
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..
‘DemonRATS’ do the same thing.
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.
One more completelly common sense conclusion of which the lemming Left has been made oblivious.
Great, NOW may we go back to paper please?
May the pretend environmentalists all contract mild stomach viruses from their nasty bags on November 2.
Seriously? No one washes these bags? I never thought of not washing them.
I can’t wait to send this to my twirpy little lib nephew and his wife! They’ll come up with something like...”it’s better to risk our health that to risk our planet”. BWAHAHAHAHA!
Going green takes on it’s real meaning.....
How in the world did we ever get out of the cave?
So the greenies are contaminating the checker, the bagger and later customers. Could workers’ compensation claims and lawsuits be far behind?
My suggestion is to use iron pots for carrying groceries. YOu can reuse them over and over and over again and wash them over and over again. And you will have great muscle tone in your arms after carrying all your groceries in iron pots. Or you will purchase less groceries so you don’t have to carry so much.
This makes me think of my children and their backpacks. I bet those things are disgusting and would kill the person who did this study. Really. My teenaged sons put all kinds of things in their backpacks and then forget about it. And then there are the mischievous friends who pour bottles of perfume in said backpacks. We washed one backpack at least 15 times and left it outside to “air” after the 15th attempt at removing the smell. We used vinegar and simple green and whatever else to get rid of the stench. It never came out. It’s that wonderful petroleum fabric that keeps smells in and germs in and whatever else. blech
I wonder if these people tried washing thier bags, or thier food!
I took my green 1 dollar grocery bags and put them in her washer. They came out okay and didn’t shrink or wrinkle, so you can wash them in the washer. However, for some reason, the bigger, canvas bags shrink like crazy.
So charging people for the bags isn’t working.
So now it’s a ‘health risk’...blah, blah ,blah
Back in the day many food containers were reusable. For example glass soda and milk bottles were routinely returned to their suppliers cleaned after a fashion and refilled. When I was a kid it was not unheard of for people to find insect fragments or even an occasional mouse in soda bottles. My Mother worked in a local dairy when she was in high school and washed milk bottles. After finding the bottles used for everything from urinals to kerosene storage she never would allow bottled milk in our house. We drank powdered milk until milk became available in sealed paper containers. It is ironic that the rise of disposable containers was pushed as a public health issue.
