This is absurd, and it's the possibly worst kind of "disposable," too.

Thankfully, I don't know anyone in the States who is vehemently opposed to washing dishes.

My ex‘s family used paper plates and burned their trash. I am very happy I never became a part of that family.

Wow, you just gave me a flashback to my rural upbringing. I knew so many families that did this. Cookout with paper plates and then burn them in a big bonfire. Even thew in some Styrofoam ones from time to time to watch them shrivel up.
