What's to acknowledge? Paper bags work just as well, much of the products absolutely don't need that much plastic packaging, and people lived fine with reused glass bottles/jars (at least some countries still recycle that).

Anything that’s in liquid form is going to come in a plastic lined container at the minimum. Almost all meat products are wrapped in plastic and styrofoam. A good amount of produce as well. Are we going to forego all these conveniences?

For those interested Ted-Ed did a neat video on the topic of grocery bags.
