How Takeout Took Over America 

I thought It was too for a second haha

NO--Better than Vox, It's CNBC!

she certainly looks like she belongs on vox

I thought this was vox until I saw your comment

I'm glad it ain't.

They need to do a segment on how unhealthy fast food is harming American citizens. Americans

I agree. I think takeout apps like Postmates have been extremely beneficial to small businesses. At least in my view, I could be wrong 🤷🏻

mech5 fab or anything else that’s packaged like toys and movies and video games which use a lot of plastic

or super market junk food like chips and candies!

Yes.

SomethingNewThisWay I thought that too lol, it's a very short distance, might as well just say there's not any problem based on that

That's the reference, takeout is so common that you are able to find it close to you, such as a Starbucks in Seattle.

Haha right

cold worm no r u stupid

@@yaboy7120 What about me or my comment is 'stupid'?

Almofid Bdarija you mean libtard videos?

NotMike • 2 M views • 2 months ago you have roblox and Minecraft videos on your channel, BOY you most likely still wet the bed. GO listen to that Taylor Swift playlist you have saved and go to bed. You got school tomorrow

Bear Briganti i drop out of school at first grade I’m a full time pornstar now

Bear Briganti jkkk

Bear Briganti They'll put you away for arson if you keep dishing out these deep burns 😂

What pops into my mind is what kind of thing that holds the container

a container made out of bamboo and bannana peels. lol

Ev an Drop the peels and adopt banana leaves. When dry they are extremely sturdy and are decomposable. The peels can rot quickly and you don’t want that with your food.

In theory, an edible food container sounds interesting, but I'd be concerned about the cleanliness of the people who handled the container before I ate it.

You like that walk into a Whole Foods Market and buy a bag of "Donkey Chips". They're also edible but I would not recommend them to a friend!

Biodegradeable packaging will almost always lead to a worse customer experince. Being more easily degradable, it won't hold up as well during use. Given how common paper straws have become, I'm sure most people have become painfully aware of this fact.

Nimish Khokhar LOL 😂

Actually you have to find the right balance because to much of one thing and not a lot of another can destroy us

It’s because of a lot politicians only care if they get more money

Speech 100

Nimish Khokhar agreed!

Pablo Vargas You can eat any spoon if you try hard enough

+Amazon Sister Depending what they are seasoned with and the taste bubs of the one eating.

Cool

if i remember correctly they are made of millet and wheat so dont have much of a flavour

Native American or Dot head one??.

@nothere_2017 I hope so.

@@smileychess LOL!

Yes, that is part of it. However, even when we recycle, that's still piling up. I personally would use my glassware to transport food from store to home, as much as possible.

MisterSilverBug anyone that throws trash on the ground is technically responsible for dumping plastic in the ocean

For your kind information, we cook more, we waste less food, we still use more steel utensils and we do try to do more for the environment unlike USA. Moreover we don't elect morons as Presidents.

Everyone pretty much except for that small percent who recycle

I brought up Trump for two reasons. 1. I felt India and China were unfairly targeted as producers of World's waste by someone who "MIGHT" have a Donald Trump Thinking Complex. 2. In the video it was said that legislation should be made to reduce plastic. You think Donald Trump will introduce legislation? He does not know the difference between India and hindu. He has no idea about how the world works. He took your country out of the Paris agreement. Just because you live in a continental island does not give you the right to waste or pollute especially after knowing there is a problem. Yes there are a lot of plastica on the beaches in India. Do you think that we only threw it there? Have you heard of ocean water currents? Where were we in the 1960s. The use of Plastic in India by the masses is a recent phenomenon and we are already trying to be more environmentally friendly by making people buy plastic bags at almost a 1000% markup. I personally take bags when I go to shop. Many do too. Yes we have coal powered plants. We've been using it for 40 years in the scale that the West has been using for the last 120 years. We still use bullock power because we can't afford it. You want to roll back emissions standards because "Donald thinks about the environment?" You know what, I'll let you in on a secret we will also get out of coal faster than your America will. Its funny with all the education in the West you cannot do more in your own country. It beggars belief that in a country with so many brilliant people there are people who don't believe in climate change, who believe that Obama was an Arab, that Nazis were good somehow, that owning slaves was a good thing, that all muslims are bad, or that somehow wearing a turban makes you a terrorist. Hope you don't wear a turban mate. Why hate the illiterate farmers in Haryana who burn crops because they don't know any better. At least our illiterate Indians listen to reason and by the next few years the crop burning will stop as the waste will be bought to make electricity by burning it in waste power plants or composting it to make fertilizers. As for our illiterate chaiwala PM. I don't like him. Because of his social and religious views. But at least he has brought about good change. We are using more LED lights in our house. Less electricity consumption. We will install more solar and wind power. Less coal burning. We will try to reduce ICE vehicles. Less pollution. And what America do. Go back to gas guzzling V8s. I grew up loving the US. Hollywood did a great job. The US was always right, just and the good people in everything. But after getting an education and especially after the 2nd Gulf war it seems that maybe I was wrong. America was Great. Now she isn't Great. She will not be Great until she understands that she maybe a different country but in onle ONE Earth.

Sushmit Mondal www.statista.com/chart/12211/the-countries-polluting-the-oceans-the-most/ Unfairly targeted lol. Facts are racist! However oddly, India is not on the list.

That might be a chicken and egg question.

They've barely got room for eggs, and definitely not for chickens.

A valid point. Growing up, the kitchen was often the biggest room in the house. It's where people gathered, ate, drank coffee, sometimes wine, and a now near obsolete social exercise, conversed. And none of us were fat. Today, homes, condos, apartments are build with minimal hotel like kitchenettes. We're fatter, sicker, and more socially disconnected than ever. Times sure haven't changed all for the better.

You don’t need a big kitchen to cook. You just need a pot or pan and a hot plate. Problem is people are too lazy to cook.

@@Elena-er7zp Absolutely true. But these young people's parents are mostly to blame. They've raised a take out generation.

ENJOY YOUR RESIDUE OF HAIR SWEAT DUST NAIL PARTICLES FROM THE COOKERS

@@mariosimpostor731 sounds delicious, gotta season their food somehow.

@@raventhorX lol

Me too but I am making my own chicken fried rice.

Given the population China has, takeout waste is a huge problem here.

Plus, in this materialistic world, not many are willing to go minimalist, and the few that try often give up soon after (think about all those #vanlife people for example)

Don't own a full set of silverware. Reuse and wash your chopsticks, guests will love you!

And edible water bottle

Now im hungry for some forks

I like to cook. Its the cleaning i don't like.

If you're only cooking for yourself it's often cheaper to eat out occasionally to get better diversity of quality meals.

Speak for yourself

All men need to learn to cook for family

My roommate eats takeout almost twice a day and the bathroom will stink for hours

Good for you man

It’s all about moderation you can eat a little bit but not much take away

XExciting Channel oh please tell us more about how much better you are then everyone else

Catherina Horowitz> I mean that every outlet uses the same containers. There will be maybe a dozen different sizes, but they should be exchangeable between companies. For materials, I'd suggest stainless steel.

Doesn't absolve us of the responsibility of trying to further reduce that amount.

@@retnavybrat Nobody said that. I was simply pointing out an important fact. This video implies this trash has a huge impact on the ocean. While any impact is bad, if you want to drastically impact the environment, you should pressure countries like China, one of the worst offenders.

True but remember, the third world countries that adopted these practices learned it from us. If we can lead the way, the hope would be that they would adopt our practices. Emission laws are an example of something that is slowly being accepted and learned worldwide but started here in the U.S.

whataboutism strikes again

Rainbow Dash I've looked into it before, it's because they get shredded down and then broken down to be able to make new plastic products, but when there's food residue the plastic is impure, and since it's biological matter, it'd result in bacteria and foul odors unless extra cost is spent trying to purify itm

paper needs to be clean to be recycled. However, some cities are accepting soiled paper and cardboard for compost which makes more sense. Having all take out food and their containers be compostable is the most logical choice because then consumers don't have to be bothered with cleaning and recycling them. Recyclable plastic is irrelevant if it doesn't get recycled which most of it does not.

Wood? Takeout containers made of wood? U high?

Why not? Unused wood chips at lumber mills could be compressed into all sorts of shapes. I'm sure wood has a good application in take out. Wood utensils for one.

Tony Walsh it's because most of the waste comes from China and India, they just conveniently left that out
