> There's a wide variety of valuable benefits to plastic food packaging in general Yea, it's cheap and makes an effective seal. I still think 95% of it is unnecessary, and some of that 95% is probably actively worse in its damage compared to its benefit. I'm no chemist, nor no doctor, but the amount of plastic that's intended to be used in cooking food itself at high temperatures makes me extremely uncomfortable. This goes for restaurants, too, it's not just frozen dinners and instant ramen. Legislating use of chemicals—particularly around industrialized food production—seems extremely difficult, but I think it's still worth the effort
