Update on Little Caesars Plastic Pizza Film

I did hear back from Little Caesars customer service via phone. The customer service representative told me that the film was waxed paper. It sure didn't look like waxed paper to me, so I called the restaurant that made the pizza and asked them if the film is paper. The girl who answered the phone said that the box the sheets came in reads "poly film." I'm not a chemist, but usually the prefix poly indicates plastic materials (If anyone knows for sure, please clue me in!). This Caesar's store assured me that I could request a film free pizza, which I most certainly will do.

I think this whole exchange underscores the fact that plastic is so accepted for every conceivable use that companies will use it without so much as a thought as to the ramifications on our health or the environment. The customer service representative did not even understand the material, but that's just a symptom of the underlying disease. The fact is that we use plastic indiscriminately, but we don't understand how it will affect our bodies in the long run.
