Are we phasing out paper bags?

The AARP is going to have a fit. All the old people around here insist on paper inside plastic.... Not sure why. My grandma does it too. They have them bag everything inside paper, then put the whole thing in a plastic bag.....

Easier to carry, since a lot of paper bags, unfortunately, do not have handles...and even when they do, they're not the sturdiest things ever.

As for myself, if I'm getting perishables, I'll ask for paper in plastic. It seems that the paper bag helps insulate it better.
