The issue today with most of those sustainable takeout containers is they are lined with PFAS.

Not true for everything but the vast majority are.

Looks like this will be changing for the better soon: https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-indu...

Even plastic-backed paper (ie, not PFAS) is much better than a fully plastic container, so I support his.

True.

Consumer Reports did some testing on this, writeup here: https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-contaminants/dan...

It's from a couple years ago now, so individual results might be out of date.

This is true, and because of this we eat out as little as possible. People just won't given up convenience, no matter the cost to health.
