So many choices at the fast food restuarant . . . I try to be careful about my health. . . a nice salad perhaps and a cup of water.

They call my name and there it is, my healthy salad in a thick plastic bowl, with a clear plastic lid, accompanied by a plastic cup for my water. How shall I eat this salad?  How about a thick plastic fork?

Lately I have been enjoying my salads less because I sit there looking at the bowl; it looks bigger and thicker and more ominous as the level of salad goes down.  And then the true moment of guilt - I'm done eating and into the trash it goes.   

 Is there is list of fast foods companies i.e. Rubios, Baja Fresh, El Pollo Loco (I do love fresh Mexican food) who are currently using compostable plastics?  How expensive is it for a company like Rubios to switch to "green" contianers?  Is there a good plan for lobbying one or all of these medium sized, more health concious, fast food companies to make the switch and use it as a marketing tool?  Let's face it, green is in.
