Reusable bags "are a breeding ground for bacteria and pose public health
risks - food poisoning, skin infections such as bacterial boils, allergic
reactions, triggering of asthma attacks, and ear infections," noted a 2009
report. Harmful bacteria like E. coli, salmonella, and fecal coliform
thrive in reusable bags unless they are washed after each use, according
to an August 2011 peer-reviewed study, "Assessment of the Potential for
Cross-contamination of Food Products by Reusable Shopping Bags."
I think this explains a good reason why I should not be alone in this thinking.
There are some things... dry goods like a box of cereal...
I would not mind using cloth bags to carry. There are
others... things that sweat or have juices that can
leak... that I would never want to put in a cloth bag,
even if I wash the bags weekly.
As a retailer, I am finding that more and more people are
getting accustomed to bringing their own bags, whether it is
the tougher shopping bag plastic of days gone yore or the
reusable fabric/poly ones.
The cloth ones need to be thrown out after a few uses... it's really
no better as we have more bags then we ever have before, can't use
them for a secondary use like garbage bags, so what do we do? Pay
for single use garbage bags, where I used to get 2 uses from plastic
bags, one to bring food home, and the second as grabage bag.
Nothing stopping you from using a plastic bag as a liner in a
cloth bag if you want to.

All a big scam by the tree hugger's who don't see the real picture.
Yeah, I wondered why people called the store plastic bags single use?
It's because we are brainwashed now. :) We know we can't get
any bags anywhere we go... Even the farmer's market is no longer
giving bags.
I use all plastic shopping bags anyway...in a new, prettier
tree-hugger friendly form. After having lived in Oregon, I have had several lifetimes of experience with tree-huggers.
