Most fruit and vegetables are covered in plastic at the store.en
I dislike that as well. I don't think bananas need an extra plastic wrapper.en
Why do the stores do that?en
Maybe to make the long transport easier?en
They should just use paper.en
Wrapping everything in paper wouldn't be much better either.en
Why? Isn't paper better?en
