Looking for a Techneak...

Well, I don't have a techneak to report at this time, but if one of you knows one I will edit this post to put it up, giving full credit, of course.
Both Dale and I have encountered problems lately with the effects of static electricity on foodstuffs. I run into it whenever I use the coffee grinder and then try to pour the grounds into the coffee maker. Dale came across it trying to pour some Red River cereal through a funnel. Stuff sticks to the materials instead of sliding off them, and it's not because there is a sticky substance on the stuff. The coffee and it's container actually get so staticky (is that a word=?) that it leaps out in all directions if I tap the container to dislodge it - coffee everywhere, Dale is not pleased, not good.
Both of the offending plastic parts (funnel and grinder out container) are made of plastic. The coffee container is clear and has a #1 triangle on it, making it PETE or PET according to Wikipedia. The funnel is made of a white plastic, but is too old to have a triangle, so I am not sure what kind of plastics it is.
I have heard of people rubbing dryer sheets on stuff that is staticky, but I don't think I want those on my food. So, the question is: does anyone know a food-safe way to get rid of static?

Two very GOOD stretches

These are two muscle fascia stretches shown to me by my athletic therapist, Deanne.

In the first, lay on the floor and raise yourself into a shoulder stand.

Then tilt your legs over your head, keeping your knees straight until your toes touch the floor. Hold for 10 -15 seconds. I find this one especially useful for unkinking my neck and loosening all the muscles between my shoulder blades that don't enjoy sitting at the computer.

The second one can be done anywhere.

Tuck your chin against your chest.

And bend over slowly, vertebra by vertebra, until you touch the floor or your toes. Hold for 10-15 seconds.
Lift slowly, again vertebra by vertebra, arching your back and spreading your arms, pushing the stretch out through your middle fingers. (The first time I did this I felt a real 'zing' at the ends of my fingers).

Repeat as needed.

For a deeper stretch place your feet on or against something so the plane of the bottom of your feet form a 45 degree angle. This really works the back of the legs.
