TV Series - My 600lb Life

Other

I watch this quite regularly- one thing that I find a bit perplexing. They seem to use disposable plates (plastic or paper) most of the time sometimes disposable cutlery and cups too. I find this amount of unnecessary waste quite disturbing- and wonder if that is just the normal part of there routine?

It will be so they don't have to wash them, they'll just throw them away

I have reusable plastic cutlery for work, but even without seeing the program I would say very different from what they use. Mine has it's own container and gets washed and used again

I guess its difficult moving round when that size

Imnotcheap most of them have people who live with them and bring/cook the food them. I was just curious more than anything

suevernon1968 I wouldn't like that, well maybe for a day. Must get expensive all that food plus new plates, cutlery ect daily. I would feel guilty

Imnotcheap its also the environmental impact that I think of. Paper plates do have a place - at kids birthday parties and nursery or school for their arts and crafts!

suevernon1968 I have got them for craft myself but that's it. The plastic is worse than the paper too

I also wonder why as their plates have so much food on them would they risk the plates just flopping

I'm with you on that.Kinda costly and beyond lazy perhaps. Not to mention an ecological nightmare as well!
