This is for real.
We have seen a few people quite ill since the bag ban in our city (which went first before almost every other city).
I have done two things to try to minimize this problem.
1. I buy 100% washable bags. Cloth, not that stuff he showed a photo of early on in his presentation.
Those bags he showed can be washed a few times BUT NOT DRIED!
Since their must be air dried, they are not really sanitized by the whole cleaning process.
2. I always use those smaller still-free plastic bags at the store when I buy meats, fruits, veggies.
No reason to let the chicken ooze flow all over the broccoli, is there?
Since this is a growing trend, be forewarned.
You might pay a bit more initially to get the cloth Trader Joes bags but you can wash them forever!
Look up:
Trader Joe’s Reusable Grocery Bag Heavy Duty 100 % Cotton Canvas Shopping Tote
and
Trader Joe’s Canvas Weave Tote Shopping Grocery
Other places sell items like these, too.
My favorites came from a botanical garden!
Zoos, bookstores, tourist-y places.
This article is very nice to my surprise!! thank you

Beautiful, if we just leave the progs alone I believe they will eradicate themselves in a generation or two. Of Course being compassionate conservatives we’ll step in and save them from hair-brain ideas. The whole plastic bag replacement of paper was to “save” the trees, a fully renewable resource. Paper or plastic was the checkout mantra of not too long ago. Then came the organic farming with contaminated bean sprouts. Free range chicken eggs at 2 to 3 times the price of “restricted chickens”. but with the added flavor that horse shi* gave to the free range chicken eggs. Unpasteurized milk, Pastor was wrong. Finally let us not forget the DDT ban that now allows the death of millions of African babies. Oh then there’s the anti vacations nitwits who would rather bring back full scale epidemics than give their little darling immunization. I believe there is a correlation between the greyness of a progs beard, the year of his Volvo, and the knot in his sweater tied around his neck. Other than that I don’t have much of an opinion on saving the planet. Oh I do have one. If California would stop the invasion of illegals from south of their boarder they could reduce the roadside litter/trash by one hundred billion tons a year.

@Buffalobob: My brother and I love to discuss the benefits of free range chicken and eggs with all of those organic health food people. We first ask them if they know where the chickens free range is. Then what do they eat during the free range tour through the various manure piles. They are free from antibiotics that is true. That means you can be purchasing sick chickens. So, free range chickens eat grain that other animals do not digest. They eat grain and insects they sort from their own manure and they get no medication for worms, parasites and bacteriological diseases. Sounds very healthy to me!
