We have proof that plastics and food don’t mix

Editor,

If you’re still thinking about New Year’s resolutions, you might consider something simple and close to home, plastic bags and water bottles.

One afternoon during the holidays, I watched shoppers exiting the H-E-B with grocery carts loaded with groceries stuffed in plastic bags, the kind that we sometimes see in the San Marcos River and tumbling in the wind beside the road. According to a lot of studies, plastics and food are not compatible.
