#1 I can't wait for the lawsuits over who is at fault when someone gets food poisoning.

#2 By the way - what else is actaully recycled - not just shipped to China - besides steel, aluminum, and newsprint (since 1893)?

#4 At our Texas place we have no garbage service and generally pack it back to Louisiana when we return every few weeks. So we compost what we can, burn what we can of the rest, take aluminum to the Church recycling bin (it's the only recycled product in the area) and pack out about one contractor bag of bottles & steel cans etc.

#5 In the future everyone will carry around their own drinking receptacle, plate, knives & forks and such. Restaurants will adapt but won't drop the prices. Environmentalists will still not be happy of course.

#6 Awesome business opportunity. You can buy 12 oz cups with lids for 13 cents on amazon.com. Sell 'em for 20 cents outside Starbucks.

#7 Restaurants would keep all proceeds, and it would be up to them to decide what to do with the extra money

Idiots don't even know how to increase gov'ment revenue.
