I thought the main problem with plastic and food is cooking food in plastic, like microwaving it and such. At room or fridge temperatures it is inert, isn't it? Just touching plastic doesn't automatically contaminate food, or else we probably would've noticed a problem with plasticware much, much sooner.

We all are plastic barbie dolls with how much of that shit contaminates every aspect of modern life
The main problem is at end-of-life (optimistically, 1.2 uses on average) where the plastic becomes exposed to sun, rain, and wildlife.
