With all the news about microplastics maybe we should go back to glass bottles.

With all the price gouging happening and shrinkflation, changing consumer habits could spell the end of food.
Is it "changing consumer preferences", or is it the industry seeing an opportunity for shrinkflation.
I prefer kegged milk myself
Milk on tap? Sign me up!
Ooohh... With a nitro dispense system, yes please.
So Canadians are giving up on milk and just drinking maple syrup now? Sweet!
I once made the mistake of telling my american coworkers that I buy over a gallon of fresh maple syrup from a local sugar shack each year and I was excited for spring because I was running low… I think I warped their perception of the canadian diet.
The crazy part is, I don’t consume maple syrup that often. But when I do, it’s always way too much.
How will our kids get their daily dose of microplastics????!!!!
Don't worry, they don't have to try, it's likely in well water at this point. Guaranteed most of your store bought food probably has it too.
I love bagged milk, but I can't go through THREE FUCKING BAGS as a family of two.
They're more eco-friendly than the box or the jug, but I guess that goes against the goal of consuming more raw materials.
More eco-friendly? Where I am we can’t recycle any of the bags whereas the box and jug we can.
It's worth remembering that being accepted in a blue bag and actually being recycled are two very different things. Much of the plastic we've "recycled" over the years just ended up in landfills in China.
Remember the old "Where does it go?" "Away," PSAs from the late '80s and early '90s? Well, plastic recycling has been that, but at an industrial scale.
To repeat: plastic bagged milk is more eco-friendly than cardboard?
You guys drink milk out of bags? We use glass, plastic, or cardboard jugs down in the States.
I've always wondered about the bagged milk... Don't they get broken a lot? I'm genuinely curious
I'm in my 40s and I can only remember one bag breakingon me, but that's because my dumb ass dropped it.
The plastic feels a bit like a heavy duty ziplock bag, or piping bag material, made as a tube (so strong shape, structurally) then flat sealed on both ends. Quite thick so not that easy to puncture by accident. Once in a while there’s one that leaks but they get removed at the grocery store by stockers, mostly. It’s easy to spot, it just looks flat and at worst (if the hole is on the bottom), there’s a liter and some of milk all over in their fridge.
