Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

"Meat candy" does not sound very enticing, at least not to me.

Gross. We have to get over this ‘convenience’ packaging of stupid food items in plastic. Just like the peeled fruit in plastic wrap, this is straight up harmful.

Hold on, peeled fruit in plastic? Nobody would be that stup...

Ohhh sorry, yeah

As you were

I get the joke but it's mostly people without the hand strength or dexterity to peel the fruit that get them.

At least that's the only people ive ever seen or heard of getting them. Most people who willingly eat fresh fruit also like to peel it themselves for that freshness

Sure, if by "get over" you mean support legislation to heavily regulate the use of plastic packaging. Otherwise, it doesn't matter what we do, as long as it's more cost effective to continue to use plastic, companies will.

That's exactly what I mean. The problem obviously won't solve itself, enforcement will be required.
