Paper plates work well with fried foods, they absorb substantial fat
calories... even when I eat fried food from a china plate I first put
a paper towel or brown paper bag on the plate. How many times do you
get served fried foods at a restaurant on a china plate and it's
swimming in grease... years ago fries to go were in a brown paper bag,
not silly styrofoam. I see nothing wrong with paper plates when used
appropriately... and a paper plate costs less than washing a single
dish... no hot water, no dishwashing detergent, and the paper plate
goes in with the recyclables. The paper plates I buy in a box of
1,000 cost like $9, less than a penny each... you can't wash a single
plate for less than a penny. And most times I can use a paper plate
twice, cats don't mind eating from a used paper plate, less food bowls
to wash.
