I can see no theoretical difficulty with believing both, or neither, or just one or the other as they are not interconnected at all.<br /><br />"...the countryside looks nicer, as do the towns, without the litter of discarded healthy options."<br /><br />So you would ban something that is convenient to many (and possibly healthier than the alternatives) because a few inconsiderate souls leave them in places that offends your sense of aesthetics?
