Polystyrene Thermal Insulation

YAAY to Phileo Yogurt for switching their bowls from styrofoam to paper! A bunch of us headed over tonight after Liz Phair's 15th anniversary concert of "Exile in Guyville"* and were happily surprised to notice the change. be even told the owner he was glad for it! This time we counted exactly 16 flavors offered. I got a mix of blueberry tart with fresh blueberries, and peach with blackberries and Oreo bits. be stuck with plain tart yogurt + fruit, while dude got a mix of plain, blueberry and strawberry + fruit. be's sister had a small bowl of peach while her bf R got cheesecake with cheesecake bits, Cap'n Crunch and other cereals.

But on a bad styrofoam note, our lunch at Bitar's was served on a multitude of foam bowls, plates and platters. How is it that foam is so acceptable now? Maybe i'm old, but wasn't there a huge fight to convince McDonald's and other fast food joints to get rid of foam in the '80s? Is it cheaper to buy than paper? BTW the "bitzza (or was it "bizza?") was sprinkled with an awesome zaatar (spice mixture with herbs and sesame seeds) that i can't stop thinking about!

* This album defines my first year of college! Great concert. Now i must upload the album to my iPod to listen on the bus.
