I can't stand the stuff and won't even use it as a drink cup. I think that sentiment is pretty common these days, even among people who don't consider themselves otherwise all that "green". Some local governments have outlawed it.

Even the big fast-food chains don't use it anymore.
Quite right.

I heard that they had too stop serving it in this way because some people were eating the styrofoam and plastic as well mistakenly believing that as they had paid for it and as it was covered in gravy it must be a part of the meal ......
