Increasingly, over the years since watching The Graduate, I’ve come to dislike and distrust plastic. Especially plastic containers for food and drink.
But I love glass storage.
Snapware 18pc Glasslock Tempered Glass Storage Containers 18piece Set with Lids – Amazon
There are a number of companies selling these. All are superior to plastic though they all, I think, still have plastic lids.
I distrust plastic thinking that, once scored, traces of food may be caught in the scratches. Glass is easier to clean and disinfect.
My computer laptop has a glass screen. So does my iPod. And I suspect glass will be replacing granite as the best counter top material.
As a general rule, I try to find alternate materials to plastic.
Just one word: glass.

Did you know the movie industry makes disposable glass for filming stunts (guys being thrown through bar windows, for example) out of SUGAR? It’s true! When sugar is cooked with water to a certain temperature, it forms a transparent, hard, glassy material. It doesn’t last forever, sadly, because it absorbs water moisture from the air and turns soft eventually. But wouldn’t it be cool to manufacture fast food containers, which would be disposable and non-toxic, from sugar? Just a random idea. Who knows. Cheers, Anne
Thanks Anne.
I need to carry my cheese cake around in a sugar container ??
… You trying to get me HYPER?
