I hope this crap of having drawings instead of actual text never catches on.
I wish there were a day to send feedback to the NYT saying "please do not do this again".
When did the venerable New York Times turn into a comic book? Anyway, far from being an "important job" this is an example of inexcusable waste. Casually using throw-away plastic junk for something as pointless as "separating the flavors", when I'm just going to shove both of those things into my mouth anyway without bothering to rinse out my mouth and cleanse my palate with bland crackers, is beyond the pale. With o…
I really wish delivery services like DoorDash would present UI to opt out of cutlery and condiments (preferably as a default). When I order a dinner for delivery to my home, I'm likely going to use my own plates/knives. If I'm ordering via phone or pickup, I can decline the default forks/chopsticks but using the UI it's nto possible without a "comment" and some restaurants don't even read that. Yes there's already wa…

The article seems to convey that plastic is considered inferior to vegetable matter for this. It is cheaper, which actually suggests less resource consumption. Plenty of plastic and other resources (petroleum itself) would be expended to provide lettuce or bamboo for this instead of PET, with even less efficiency since it’s perishable. It would be worth comparing whether it would save resources.
Another option would be to redesign the container to reduce any need for a separator. A new design could end up using just as much plastic as the current tray + the grass - who knows.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why would you rather do dishes than use free plastic cutlery/containers?
There is a dishwasher but I'm using it to store post and as a wine rack.

When I click in a newspaper link I expect to read text, not infantile drawings.
How's that infantile ? As far as I can see all the people are more or less drawn anatomically correct and IMO it looks good. Have you ever seen something drawn by an infant ?
"traditional health benefits" means "bullshit health benefits", right?
