Despite the fact that we're trying to eat within 100-miles, both Cin and I are pretty busy with work and all the other things that take up a modern life. So there occasionally comes a time when you want somebody else to do the cooking. Or you just want a veggie burger and fries fix (mmm...fries). We never claimed we were perfect... Yet every time we go to our favorite local veggie fast-food restaurant we end up with a pile of plastic and foam garbage. It bugs us to have to accept our food in these disposable containers, both for our health (foam and plastic both leach toxic chemicals into your food), and also because there's no way to recycle these pestilential petroleum products. Well, we've come up with a solution (certainly not new - we claim no credit) that hopefully won't cause too much angst for the shop-owner. We'll start carrying our own plates and cutlery - made of metal. We have ceramic coated tin plates we bought second-hand from a thrift store, and we both have a KFS set for camping. So the next time we give in to the urge for fast-food we'll slap our re-usable, non-toxic, recycled plates on the counter and say, "fill 'er up!"
[Incidentally, if you want to read on what comes out of plastic, including those ever-popular lexan water bottles, go here. Also, I am in no way affiliated with the owners of that site.]
