    As far as individual cheese slices go, they've got a point. It's very wasteful. When you buy them pre-sliced from the deli they're not wrapped like that.

    I was only joking

      Yes, but you've still got the plastic wrapper the plastic wrapped cheese slices come in.

        If I see too much plastic wrapping, I don’t buy the product.

          I remember a friend from Europe once telling me that the US forces you to create much more trash than other parts of the world. It might even have been Klaus.

          They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

            If you read the comments to the article, you'll come to realise that that's ok, because Taylor Swift has a private jet.

                Environmentalism. It's not a bad thing in a capitalistic society, if it's done right. This is where we could do good, while not hurting business.

                The cheese wrappers aren't the problem, it's the attitude. The attitude should be to package what we can in reusable packaging. From soft drnks in glass bottles to more products in paper packaging. To build cars and houses that last longer and are easy to repair.

                  The attitude is also behind the reaction which tends to treat any attempt to reward more environmental responsibility as an assault on personal freedom.

                  I for one am not going to war over Kraft cheese slices. You heard it here first.

                    I wouldn’t go to war either over Kraft cheese slices. I just won’t buy them.

                        No problem with good stewardship. But they do need to get rid of those wretched compostable paper straws. Those things are horrible.

                        And banning individual wrapped cheese? No problem, but it’s pissing in the ocean compared to the plastic contamination from India…

                            This is the argument that gets used over and over again by people who want to do nothing rather than lead the way.
