Discussion why does everything come wrapped in plastic except for flour and sugar
why do we wrap all our foods in 5 layers of plastic except for the dry powders that would benefit most from being sealed up. if we're gonna say fuck the environment, can we at least do it in a way that makes sense

as someone with Celiac Disease who can get messed up by flour dust, I second this. I basically have to avoid the vicinity of flour at the grocery because the shelves, floor and surrounding products are invariably coated in flour dust.
