Reusable lunch baggies! Hooray!

While browsing at a local children's store I happened upon the most ingenious (long overdue) item ever. They are cloth reusable instead-of-plastic-baggies, lunch 'sacks". They come in many colors and they have a water resistant completely sealed inside so you can carry things such as cut up fruit, salad (to be later placed on a plate), chips, sandwiches...and the list goes on and on. I purchased 2 and I have been using them for any and everything I can think of. I feel better about having my food clothed in non-harmful chemicals, I LOVE that the baggies are not sitting in some landfill waiting for the extinction of the human race to happen before they themselves leave and best of all, I can wash them in the dishwasher or by hand (my preference)! I think as we move towards outlawing plastic grocery bags we should consider moving away from a plastic lunch bag world as well.
Another big HOORAY for healthier, cleaner, more sustainable lunches!
Peace.
