OP here yes we are.

I feel like we are also constantly being gaslit.

It is almost impossible to find any juice bottled in glass. Its near impossible to find salad dressing bottled in glass. Acidic foods in plastic is a no no which we have known for a very long time.

And yet we are just supposed to accept this. And no one is more willing to accept this nonsense than the American Consumer. And where they arent willing to accept it, its forced on them anyway. Not everyone can get into a car and drive to an organic food store to buy organic glass bottled juice. Heck I don't even do that anymore. I forced my kid to give up all juice and eat only whole fruit and drink water. Sure, thats fine too. But I am in a position where I can buy things like whole fruit.

The kicker was when they started bottling some liquors in plastic. And even wine on planes is now in plastic.

That was the kicker? I agree that the plastic packaging situation is bad, but every example you provided is pretty easy to avoid.

OP here. You are missing the point entirely.

We are being gaslit by the implication that these options are actually viable and acceptable at all.

OF COURSE you can still buy liquor that is not in plastic. My point is the fact that ANY liquor is EVER bottled in plastic is beyond mind blowing. BTW I dont even drink liquor.

To the PP who said yes there is salad dressing in glass bottles available. I know that. That is all I buy. What you clearly have not noticed is that substitutions going on for items FORMERLY bottled in glass that are NOW bottled in plastic.

I found a dressing a like called Tessamaes. It was bottled in glass up until last year.

ALL of NEWMANS OWN dressings used to be bottled in glass. Now almost all are in plastic.

ALL of SNAPPLES used to be bottled glass. Now they are bottled in plastic in most stores. Glass is now just about 100% phased out for snapple.

NANTUCKET NECTARS were bottled in glass. Now they are bottled in plastic.

So no, its not "pretty easy to avoid". The fact that anyone here thinks so is an example of not only privilege but also the gaslighting I'm talking about.

Next time you go to Safeway, take a stroll down the salad dressing aisle. Next time you are in Wegmans try to find a drink not bottled in plastic.

Try to find a tea brand that is still in glass. There are some, but most are now plastic. Our local convenience store has no juice or tea options that are not plastic.

This is going to get only much mch worse.

Mayo, too. Everyone should just go back to using glass bottles and jars. What the hell are we waiting for????
