Has any company in the US begun using biodegradable bags for their bread?
As much bread as is sold every day in the US, the outer bags should be able to biologically degrade normally, not fill up the landfills.
Here, the country of México has been separating organics from everything else, plastic, glass, paper for well over 45 years. When we came down here in the early 70’s, there were already 3 separate bins at every socially significant place we went; glass, plastic, and organic.
At that time, paper was included in the organic, and why not? It is organic. It took a bit more education, on the government’s part, and a bit more money, to collect paper separately from organics.
Let me show you 2 examples of what I mean.
You may laugh at the name Bimbo, but, here, it is synonymous with WonderBread, with none of the degrading connotation of the US. Also, it is pronounced as BEAM-boh.
I should have shown you the front of the full bread bag on the left as I have, temporarily, switched to Artesano Bread instead of the multigrain that you can see. The seeds of the multigrain look exactly like the little bugs, (I think it’s some sort of beetle), that is in our kitchen.
We are both doing better every day. There are marginal changes, but changes nonetheless. We’re taking any change as a win.
Actually, today I actually tasted a bit of V8, peanut butter, and honey, and a bit of Valentina, a spicy condiment. Yay!!
Until next time, stay happy, healthy, and safe. WASH, (it’s really the only thing that works), cover, (not helpful really), and protect yourselves.
Post script: normally I have 2-3 weeks worth of subject matter scheduled to post. As we/I have been ill recently, there may be a bit of a lag in content. Please bear with me. I put up content as I’m able.
