You are throwing away durable, reusable, functioning products after one use? .. Why?
Why do you have rancid meat juice in your grocery bag!? Why do you have rancid meat!
> not caring about burying a few plastic bags in the landfill
I don’t particularly care about this. I still have a couple reusable bags in the back of my car that I use to transport food from the grocery store home. (I never have to deal with bags breaking. And my town charges for single-use paper bags, which I think is a fair compromise.)
When rancid meat juice raises its head, it’s rare and immediately dealt with by cleaning out the fridge. I’d be worried for a friend citing exposure to it as not only a regularity, but inevitability.
Not frequently! If that’s happening, the butcher is doing a bad job sealing the package or the meat isn’t fresh.
I agree in those situations I’d likely toss the bag versus rinse it. But this is—and should be—a once every couples years problem. (And I buy meat almost every time I go to the grocery store.)
No, and if it was a common occurrence I'd find a different butcher that can actually package the meat properly.
There have been a few times I've washed a bag because it got dirty. It wasn't really inconvenient. I just tossed it in the laundry with the rest of my clothes. Or do you also just throw away clothes once they get a little dirty?
I stopped buying meat for environmental / water usage reasons a while back, so no, this isn't an issue for me anymore. Guess I'm just a stupid hippie.
The old "you're just not doing it right" chestnut, where have I heard that one before! Hey, by any chance have you noticed how many of those silly face masks made it (or didn't make it) to landfills?

You said it not me!
