And adding to our hilarious overuse of plastic shouldn't fly well with anyone. So what's your solution? Mine's "shop more frequently", which I do because I live in civilization and the store where I get my produce is a nice and pleasant walk (even in the winter it's not bad), but I'm open to alternatives.

Not everyone lives in the same place you do with the same access or time demands as you do

Then perhaps they should get used to things that don't have the same kinds of externalities, shouldn't they?

Reductive application of "externalities" to promote tyranny over people you don't like.

The "tyranny"--of not filling landfills with junk because I don't like impossibly slow arugula eaters, apparently!

Why are hackernews posters so awful and weird about food? Do you even listen to yourself? I mean, jeez, just put a wet towel in the pack like a normal person to get an extra couple days out of it instead of ranting about "tyranny" because somebody thinks that maybe it's okay that your spinach goes over in five days instead of eight and you should just buy less and get over it.

Why do you want to micromanage every aspect of other people's lives is more to the point?
