  The headline made me think it was about eating delivery/takeout food from plastic containers specifically vs eating plated food that had been in plastic containers.

  Which seemed curious. So I read TFA.

  And no, this is about all hot food put in plastic containers for delivery/takeout regardless of how it's later eaten.

  When I was in China, I saw that food delivery was massive, cheap and easy. And the food is often piping hot and put in plastic containers.

  How smart can one be eating hot food from a soft plastic container with metal cutlery.
