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.
