You want them to use plastic?
Then later complain about runaway plastic pollution?

The same kind of circular logic applied to politics leads people to not vote, arguing that bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe and never make the connection that their chronic apathy and fickleness is what caused the mess the are apathetic about, only now with more cynicism.

They used to use cloth with patterns on it you could make clothes out of.

Go buy a set of Tupperware. Yes they are plastic, but the set I have I got from my Mother. She bought it back in the 1970s. And one of my Grand kids will still be using them after me and Grandma are long gone. That's a pretty good use of plastic.

The large one I have will hold 5lbs of flour without issue, the next size down will hold 3lbs of sugar easily, then next size smaller yet a bag of brown sugar. Now my Grandmother, she bought flour by the 20lbs bag. And she had a wooden box in her pantry that she stored the whole bag in. She baked a LOT of bread and other baked goods nearly every day.

This is exactly why I mill my own threshed wheat.

Look at this guy, he has his own mill while the rest of us have to use a mortar and pestle.

The worst possible container for flour would be a hot sauce bottle.

Don't eat the white poison. It's made from the ice wall that contains the oceans of the flat earth. Sometimes even from chemtrails!

Some companies put them in boxes. A bit more expensive though

Baking pro tip for shopping: buy some buckets. 3 gallon is plenty big enough for a grocery store sized bag.

Get the cart to your car, put the buckets (one for each bag of flour) in the buggy and transfer the bag/s into them.

Then move the buckets into your car. They'll be less messy, protect the paper bags better, and make carrying it in easier via the handles.

If you're a high volume home baker, it's still easier than dealing with ordering in bulk.

what is the complaint? not enough testicular microplastics?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

What, paper bags? Not that big a deal, just ziplock out or stuff it in a sealable plastic container. I'm guessing @ArtLesbO there didn't grow up in the Midwest lol
