Reflection QuestionFood Buy Unpackaged ProduceWhy do you think these products have so much plastic packaging? Who is the plastic packaging really serving -- the consumer, the producer, or someone else?
Lisa Hunter 2/08/2023 7:38 AMThe plastic packing protects the produce in shipment and determines units for purchase. It serves the producer to cut down on waste (produce thrown away), the vendor because it makes easier to sale in units (pricing convenience). -
