We don't eat out often because there are not many good restaurant choices. When we do, we often have left-over portions of our meals to bring home and they are usually still warm. So here is a great option when the restaurant only has Styrofoam take-home containers. Ask your waiter to put a piece of aluminum foil in the container first before placing your food into it.
Styrofoam is the worst plastic for food storage - especially for warm or hot foods or drinks. I cringe whenever I see people drinking coffee out of a Styrofoam cup. Make a decision to not use Styrofoam EVER. It is that bad. If you know you will be drinking coffee out, bring your own mug or thermos. Plasticizers that leech into food cause a myriad of health issues from cancer to infertility. Eliminate the toxins that come from plastic glasses and dishes by using only glass or ceramic (that has been fired to a high temperature - be careful with handmade ceramics).
