This is my favourite gripe at the present time. Now..not only are food manufacturers content with screwing up the planet but they are victimising those of us whose fingers and eyes are not what they used to be.  It seems that it’s impossible to buy anything in a supermarket without packaging now and once you get it home you need glasses and a knife to get into anything. I’m sure we’ll look back on this time with some amazement that we bought three parsnips which were eaten within 2 hours and the packaging they came in lasts for hundreds of years. It seems we can’t even put this stuff in the recycling bin. My big beef is that the packaging has got worse. If you were trying to live off this stuff starving  in the desert you wouldn’t even be able to find a rock with which to open your cheese, cold meat and veg. It’s beyond hands and teeth now. As a consumer I’m sick of it..being treated like this that is. The biggest offender…with whom I don’t shop..is Marks and Spencer. If you go into their stores there’s virtually nothing that isn’t sold in bullet-proof packaging and it’s time that someone pointed out that the swish adverts on TV are selling products that are both environmentally destructive but also mentally challenging. Bring them all to trial in the International Court for Environmental Crimes against the Consumer!!
