You've never had a package of meat leak a little juice in to the grocery bag? If you have, you either wash it (inconvenient) or you have rancid meat juice if you don't (it doesn't start rancid).
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!
