It's exactly this mindset that creates such a huge plastic problem. You aren't wrong, and you shouldn't feel guilty either. People in charge of deciding packaging should be taking their end customer's ideas and habits in mind. Why are all my vegetables and fresh foods packaged on styrofoam trays, wrapped in plastic, and packed home in a plastic bag? At least the plastic bag can be reused, but the rest has zero hope of being reusable. It's also a huge problem to recycle plastics that have food waste on them.

All in all, plastics are really not needed in most of the things we buy.
