My friend has a nice set of thick hard plastic picnic stuff. I've never cared for paper plates because they're floppy, can't really knife and fork them, and heavy things risk bending them. Guess it's nice just trashing all your dirty dishes but it's really nice having hard reusable outdoor stuff.

I'm posting from the bath right now actually, lol.

Well i'm sitting on the side of my bath tub really- i'm waiting for the water to drain so I can refill it. Can't loving stand just sitting there stewing with all that dirt that comes off in the first rinse so I usually refill it a few times.

WRONG. Earth is one tough guy. Earth doesnt need oxygen, or atmosphere, or even the seasons.

I've seen a couple people itt say this but I don't really get it. something like leftover pizza or a sandwich is hardly going to dirty a plate in the first place.

I couldn't imagine being so poor I couldn't eat most meals out. I hate when I call my friends on Sunday evening to come have a drink and they are like "Oh we are making all of meals for the week!" like it's awesome to be responsible and boring as gently caress by planning all these bland crock-pot meals.

"Hmm yes, on Tuesday we can reheat our boring-rear end pork dish that we called pulled pork but is actually just steamed pork with BBQ sauce from a plastic bottle. Fresh from the freezer."

Meanwhile I guess I'll break the bank with a $5 Bahn Mi or some tacos...

I have regular plates for when I cook a decent meal at home, but I'm fine with leftover stuff plopped onto the takeout plates.

Takeout, while admittedly delicious, is never as nutritious as a home-cooked meal made w fresh, unprocessed ingredients. It's a "sometimes" food :-)

Honestly not that far from the truth but more like give the plate a quick rinse after eating the sandwich then leave it out on the dining table for next time i want a sandwich. Whereas something like a stir fry or w/e is something id rinse then run through the dishwasher before reuse. I could see using a paper plate for the latter if you're lazy but it seems particularly wasteful with the former imo.

Actually as long as you're eating stuff that's mostly prepared fresh (and not the crazy salty Sysco frozen stuff) and as long as my calories are around 2000 a day and I'm eating a remotely varied diet, I'm eating just as healthy.

Disagree. A "$5 Bahn Mi" or a delicious taco is prepared with taste and convenience in mind.....certainly not health or nutrition. And I'm not sure how you're tracking the calories contained in takeout food, but let's be real here--it doesnt matter bc your body looks like poo poo both inside and out
