Starting Aug. 1, New Jersey’s new “Skip the Stuff” law means restaurants can no longer automatically toss plastic forks, knives, spoons or even ketchup packets into your takeout bag. Honestly, if plastic utensils are such a catastrophe, then have the courage to ban them outright. Restaurants now have to retrain employees, update ordering systems, change procedures and worry about fines if they don’t follow the rules. For example, eateries with seating for 10 or more can no longer give dine-in customers plastic utensils. It just gives politicians another opportunity to declare victory over a problem that was never near the top of anyone’s list.
