At McDonald’s, I saw that their sweet tea comes from a plastic bag inside a metal container, which stays in there all day. That doesn’t seem sanitary. Then I found out some places, like Olive Garden, heat soup in plastic bags by putting them in hot water. Isn’t this like leaving a water bottle in a hot car, where plastic leaches into the liquid? How is this okay? Like, I feel like that would be so explicitly illegal in other countries. Taking a big plastic bag of soup and just throwing it in water for the plastic to obviously separate from the bag and be intermingled with the food…

It sounds a lot like poison, like it’s literally poisonous. Like how is this okay in the USA?

    I hate plastic like the next guy but medical setting is prolly strong use-case for plastic as it must be single use and it must be cheap… Well not in America since we pay for elite level everything like true patriots.

    But you get my point, a proper medical system needs to be efficient
