Every time I’m in a grocery store, I look down the full length of an aisle, usually near the middle of the store, and am immediately overwhelmed with the sheer volume of stuff lining the shelves. What I used to perceive as food has become cardboard boxes, plastic bags, aluminum cans, glass bottles with plastic lids, plastic bottles with plastic lids, aluminum lined plastic bags, cardboard boxes full of aluminum lined plastic bags, boxes full of bags WRAPPED IN PLASTIC, and every other permutation therein.
