And so what if other people look. We tell them flat out that we prefer re-usable containers over paper products, use it once and throw it away. If more of us do it, then it will become the norm.
I talked this over with my SO last night and since we both really like different kinds of food, this option will allow us to stop sharing plates of food that the other may or may not like and order or favorites instead...and have leftovers!
