[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s so weird about wiping the food from a dinner plate into the trash using a paper towel? It’s not perhaps the most common practice but why is objectionable?[/quote]

I'll set aside that OP isn't composting and is just tossing everything in the trash, but why not just use silverware to scrape off the plates? [/quote]

Why not just use the paper towels?[/quote]

It can be unsanitary. There is plenty of food that's going to seep through the paper towel and get on your fingers. Would you wipe the plate with your fingers?

Do you not have a dishwasher?[/quote]

DP. It's not good to leave all that gunk in your dishwasher. It gets stuck in the trap, in the pipes, and becomes a "fat berg" in the sewers and becomes all of our problem. Much better in the trash. Are you my husband? [/quote]

Sigh. I’ll type slowly for you. You use the paper towel to get the “gunk” off your dishes, then throw the paper towel in the trash. Then you put the dish that your fingers may have touched through the paper towel (*gasp* *horror*) in the dishwasher, which removes your Evil Finger Germs from said plates when it runs its cycle, and you wash your damn hands with soap and water,

All caught up now?[/quote]

DP but normal people just use utensils for this job. [/quote]
You really can’t fathom that not everyone needs to do things your exact way?[/quote]

Utensils make a scraaaaaape sound on the plate that make my skin crawl.  (NP here)[/quote]

But also a lot less environmental impact than paper towels so they have that going for them as well.[/quote]
