You have to be diligent about washing them. Some are even made with heavy metals that are not good for human contact. I recycle all my plastic bags. Your comment that I should not deserve to eat is insane. You obviously have not taken your medications lately. Cloth bags can pick up bacteria from meats and other foods put in them.

If you can affors cloth bags, you probably are spending too much on food in the first place. If you're too disorganized to keep several coth bags with you when you go grocery shopping, then yoiu probably don't deserve to eat. Problem solved. @ Leslie,

What are the other options for those of us who shop once a week and don't have cloth bags? Paper? That option is worse for the environment than plastic!It uses more energy and pollutes the environment in its manufacturing than plastic. It take 15-20 yrs for a tree to grow large enough to produce 700 bags. Only 700!! They do NOT naturally decompose. Check studies done by Dr. William Rathke, Univ. of Arizona, on landfills. Papers that are 40 yrs old are still readable.Paper can be composted if shredded into small strips.The failure of plastic recycling is the big problem. Only 8% per yr according to the EPA. Take them back to your grocery store. Only 1.5% of the petroleum used in the US ends up in plastic bags. The answer? Landfill biodegradable bags- and not PLA (corn based) and not oxy degradables. There are plastics that can biodegrade in landfills in 1-5 yrs and produce methane that can be harvested for free energy.That is the answer. I am against the banning of plastic.
