Question from BB
I am curious about how to avoid plastic packaging in the supermarket. Almost all meats are and many fruits are packaged in number 6 plastic, which is supposed to leach some kind of toxin. I hear it is one of the “bad ones” along with numbers 3 and 7. Does anyone know who might use the new bioplastics?
Debra’s Answer
I personally make a point to not purchase foods packaged in plastic. For meats, I go to a butcher at a natural foods store or a local natural meat butcher, both of whom wrrap my meat in paper.
FYI, bioplastics would not be used for food wrap as they don’t hold up well against moisture.
