Trader’s chicken comes in packages. Uh-oh, they’ll have to stop wrapping the stuff in plastic wrap? My butcher at the regular supermkt wraps my steaks in butcher paper, so that might be the answer. Or we go to the store with big glass containers, ask the butcher to chop up the chicken so it fits?
Actually, I’ve been around since before plastic bags were commonly used. My neighbor in San Francisco, a really smart, savvy Chinese woman from Hong Kong, was one of the first importers of plastic bags for grocery stores. I remember how I hated them, as they dug into my hands..Also remember how very quickly she and her family moved to a mansion in the best area of the city.
Anyway, reusable plastic bags like the TraderJoe bags pictured here really do take care of a lot of the problem…TJ does not bag fruits and veggies, just packs them into your large bag very smartly so they don’t get crushed.
Do these bags take care of virus transfer?
How about bacterial/fungus transfer? Are all the “wonderfuls”, going to keep their bags clean on the checkout line? Some folks are so stupid, they demand everyone comply with a lemming run.
