I went grocery shopping with my grandmother once and watched her put produce (think apples and oranges) directly in the cart, and have never used a bag for most produce since, particularly since you just wash that stuff anyway.

I have reusable canvas bags in my car.
So most of my plastic bags are from packaging and using the veg/fruit plastic bags.

Why would someone not use plastic bags for things like meat?


I have never used a plastic bag for meat and also never put my vegetables in a plastic bag, unless they are loose vegetables like bean sprouts. Most meat is packaged to death and if not, I simply have them bag the meat separate in the very very unusual and rare case that the meat is dripping with blood. Never have been sick.


Most meat is NOT packaged to death, unless you are getting frozen meat.

Any fresh meat from a butcher counter has only a thin layer of saran wrap around it and WILL have raw meat drippings, blood and residue on the outside of the packaging.

Don't be so dumb as to sacrifice basic sanitation and food safety for a trend.


What "trend" are you talking about? Also I dont buy frozen meat-ever. Most all meat is sold in airtight packaging. I don't know what nasty "butcher" you use that gives you meat dripping with blood, but maybe you need to find a new one. I shop at Wegmans.
