What's in your shopping bag? Bacteria. (But, hey, it's natural!)

Post, plastic or E.coli (uh I mean reusable)
I don't badger about my bag (I take plastic bags because we have a dog we walk at home ..nuff said) but the details that 97% aren't washing them makes me tantalize about being in line behind someone with E. Coli in their bag and then putting my food on the piece and having the bagger touch my food after their bag.
Devoted first we cant trust or train people to be responsible to manipulate a plastic bag in public and now we cant trust them to be responsible with a reusable bag in unrestricted...so are we sure all of these restrictions are the way to go? Why not just educate people about stretcher and hygene...
I think this simple closure... "Way to go, researchers! Prime mover washing or hand washing reduced bacteria levels to almost nothing" misses the simple ...if we couldn't make people take 5 seconds to break off litter (by putting plastic bag in a bin) do we really consider we can make them take 10-15 minutes to wash a bag?
