Single-use plastic utensils are an asset to humanity.

Avalon - Single-use plastic utensils are an asset to humanity. They help prevent the spread of disease and eliminate the need to use excess water and fuel to heat water to sanitize reusable utensils and eliminate the discharge of harmful detergents into our environment. The ridiculous attack on single-use utensils may be well meaning but misguided. Single-use utensils and serving wear are environmentally friendly and much safer than the alternatives if properly disposed or recycled.
