It's pretty amazing that our society has reached a point where the effort necessary to
- Extract oil from the ground
- Ship it to a refinery
- Turn it into plastic
- Shape it appropriately
- Truck it to a store
- Buy it, and bring it home
...is considered to be less effort than what it takes to just wash the spoon when you're done with it.
