General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Whilst on the subject of food safety, it is not recommended to drink directly from a plastic bottle, like bottled water etc.

The reason being that, because of the chemicals that make up plastic, there is a risk of those chemical leaking into the contents which can cause cancer and other health issues such as hormone disruption. Plastic eventually starts to break down which can create more leakage.

On top of that, it has been estimated that by 2050 there will be more plastic wastage in the sea than there are fish and other sea-life, and that's very disturbing.
