Real Naked Food - Chicago Tribune
City may put a lid on latest eco-trend
Chicago health officials frown on consumers reusing containers at stores and restaurants, citing contamination concerns
Just as Chicago consumers get the hang of reusable grocery bags, a new movement has sprouted to make local grocery shopping even greener: reusable containers.
Called BYOC — bring your own container — by its fans, the process involves carrying glass jars and bottles, plastic tubs, and even cloth bags to the market to fill with bulk foods. To eco-conscious consumers, who can already shop this way elsewhere in the U.S., the practice reduces waste, avoids advertising, reuses resources, facilitates the purchase of whole foods and saves money.

For Patrick Gleason, starring in a film about a professional wrestler who finds unlikely redemption at the end of his career was not just a new experience but a metaphor for his own life story.
Just a few years ago, Mr. Gleason, 43, sat in a prison cell, serving a 15-year sentence for the attempted murder of a police officer at a Maywood nightclub in 1989. Then a childhood friend in the movie business contacted the tall, tattooed Mr. Gleason after he had been released to serve the last three years of his sentence under house arrest.
