The case was dropped
about a month later, but that didn't stop the New York Times from writing a story
about packaging, its
excesses, and efforts to reduce them, on Christmas day.The Sainsbury's case revolved around a type of meat on its shelves, called «Taste the Difference Slow Matured Ultimate Beef Roasting Joint,» sold in what a local authority called «excessive»
packaging (vacuum - packed plastic on a plastic tray covered with a plastic lid and wrapped in cardboard) that is harmful to the environment.
But when a friend recently complained
about excess plastic
packaging being «un-Paleo,» I felt compelled to point out that, if «Paleo» is supposedly synonymous with environmental friendliness, then there's a lot more wrong with the Paleo diet than plastic containers.
