Neither happy nor sad nor angry nor anything.
It's just utterly irrelevant, both to food consumption and to the topic you started.
The plastic can't be metabolized and the shape doesn't seem to be dangerous to internal organs, so what's the big deal? What's the difference bewteen a small plastic bead and a watermelon seed?
You wanna worry about something? Worry about pesticides, mercury and other heavy metals, antibiotics and other actually dangerous and bioactive elements of which we have had plenty over the last decades in various foods.
Perspective, man, perspective.
Under the same vision, while I support any kind of pro-environment measure such as this, I think it falls short.
If we want to have an important influence on preserving the environment, lets get the United States to sign the Kyoto protocol, lets boicot fossil fuels and start consuming the alternative energies market right now!
Do you think someone who uses a plastic bag has greater incidence than a car user in a year? I think not.
You have to start somewhere, I guess, so hey, all is good.
