How will we ever get away from plastics when they are ubiquitous for safety
Plastic seals food, sterile medical implements, medicine, beverages, etc... it's seems like plastic is used as a way to seal things safely. Post pandemic rising, I see even more. My work used to be have plastic utensils in the cafeteria, for example, an already wasteful thing. Now, post-2020, every fork, knife, and spoon is individually wrapped in a plastic wrapper. I feel like the more my desire to escape plastic intensifies, the more plastic I see all around me everywhere.
How can we get away from plastic as a safety layer?

We did rather fine in ancient times without plastic. We will find a way.
Lots more people died of easily preventable and treatable diseases, so fine is pushing it.
Yeah, that's what a lack of medical knowledge does. Not sure how that's dominantly related to plastic.
No we didn't.
Plastic was invented in 1907.
Are you playing stupid or did you really think I was saying we had plastic back then? Get the fuck out of here.
I wasn't sure what else you could be implying. We certainly survived from ancient times up to 1907, or we wouldn't be here today, so it's difficult to see how plastic is an absolute necessity. Helpful, yes, but not required for prosperity.

Interactions like this certainly explain my ratings though :( Qucikest exile (for a lack of a better word) I've ever received.
Let me kick your teeth in and infect you with COVID. Afterwards tell me how you got along fine because you didn't die.
Let's not be rude against each other, okay?
