Tune Up Your Takeout

Spa's Good List

Love Chinese food? Avoid the disposable chopsticks that come with it. Most are treated with mercury-heavy sulfur and hydrogen peroxide, so invest in a quality set of your own. Steer clear of plastic in favor of more sustainable bamboo, sterling silver, or stainless steel. (We like Gaiam's Thai Bamboo Utensil Set, $22, shown here.)
