It’s バラン, not バラソ. Surely the New York Times is capable of finding someone who actually reads Japanese to proofread their work?

Re: The $0.006 Object in a Sushi Container
#72When 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…
I can't remember ever automatically getting any cutlery or napkins when ordering in food in Germany, ever. Maybe wooden chopsticks for fried rice, but maybe I'm misremembering that was when telling them to put some in.

Obviously not. And it's not a fair criticism either way, but that is the criticism. Nobody is accusing the author of drawing like an infant.
Infantile might be a bit of an exaggeration. Juvenile, perhaps?
Well I'd say neither of those things. The gulf between a child and an adult is really not that wide when it comes to matters such as taste and reasoning ability.

Why would you rather do dishes than use free plastic cutlery/containers?
1 the feeling it's much better
2 enormous waste (multiply that by the people in your country)
Once, when I though that people might regularly use plastic I thought: "if that's not a mental health red flag I don't know what it is"

Really, so there’s not much difference between infants and adults when it comes to taste and reasoning ability. That’s an unusual assertion.

Maybe the "mental health red flag" is ascribing mental illness to people who use plastic

I sincerely wrote that to make the PP author to reflect to his situation, but of course read it as you prefer

Because it's better for the environment. Washing dishes is barely any effort. Do you have no concern for the planet at all?
I don't care enough about the infinitesimal impact of an individual using plastic silverware to want to go wash a fork, no. I don't feel the externalities of the decision come anywhere close to outweighing the convenience. Convenience being the whole point of food delivery. I keep all the extra cutlery and napkins I get in a drawer and reuse them. Haven't had to buy paper towels in a long time.
> Convenience being the whole point of food delivery.
True, but there's a difference between saving upwards of 30 minutes cooking time vs saving 30 seconds washing a plate...
