Plastic food storage bins are sooooo much nicer. And wildly cheaper. And all the glass alternatives I've seen/owned had plastic lids anyway, so, I guess just be very careful not to let it touch food and hope that's OK? Plus the risk of plasticizers is nebulous and invisible, so, easy to disregard.

Not saying glass isn't better, just... I definitely get it.



I love glass and use a lot at home, but one of its huge drawbacks is that its incredibly heavy and obviously breakable. Makes takin glass stuff on the road challenging. I wonder if someone could make reinforced glass drinking wares much like you see with security windows, eg https://www.grainger.com/product/45AE15


You pay for that convenience over time in other ways?
