    Why Dont People Always Use Plastic Dishes?

    You know... the ones that are used only once.

    We have a dishwasher, but we dont use it on a daily basis since there arent enough dishes to wash.
    So my father(and sometimes mother) spend quite a while every day on washing stuff.
    (both me and my sister are lazy bastards )

    Why? What's the problem with buying a bunch of plastic one-use dishes once a week and just throwing them all to the garbage when you're done? Why wasting hours on washing them?

        You'd end up with a lot of trash, and it is much cheaper to wash a dish than it is to be a new one each time.

          Because it woud increse the size of that garbage dump outside Tel Aviv even more?

          Mind you, if you start using it for landfill and increase the size of Israel that way, I don't have a problem with it.

            I'm serious.

            Clothes are different because other people see you in them, and often make up their minds about you on the basis of your clothes.

            But in your home, with only your family there, why bother?

              Wait, I have a better idea.

              Why don't you stop using a dish, Eli, and just grab with your hands instead?

                  The trash argument is a good one. Someone should invent a recyclable material for dishes.

                  As for the cost... I'm not so sure. On the long term it definetely costs more, but then you have all that extra time, especially if you're in a large family with no dishwasher.

                    It's even messier than washing dishes.

                              NOT EVEN PLASTIC DISHES!

                              Oil paper! It comes with the souvlaki.

                              And not even oil paper if you get a kalamaki. Just a stick of wood.
