Ah. Honest mistake on my part. I missed this being a Canadian community. I am from Europe and have only seen plastic dishware and cutlery when I went to the US 2 times.

I think that is a really American thing though. I have never been to a place that had plastic cutlery and single use flatware. Sure some oprn air kitchens and festivals and such. But there is not really a better option for that

Yet another reason piracy is right and just
