Re: Too much packaging

>Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

aagghhh! NO. Wrong, wrong, wrong! Right, I'll just do me breathing exercises, especially as I've just been arguing with a copper about the release of Winston Silcott, and, funnilly enough his opinion on that ones wound me up a tad, so I'll try not to take it out on you....

but that argument just really pisses me off too. For a start it is plain wrong - it IS the manufatureres who create all the excess packaging in the first place. Do you think there were hoards of people writing to heinz or whoever demanding an extra layer of plastic sheeting? Of course not, the maufacturers knew they could do it and it would probably lead to increased sales because it makes the goods seem more attractive, maybe even healthier (the way the goods are presented on the labelling etc), even in some cases (I'm thinking tetrapaks here) more environmentally friendly.

Do you want to tax people for being conned, rather than the con artists themselves?
