I have written about this before. Its a very important issue with grave implications.
I am glad you wrote about it as it needs as much exposure as possible. The only real solution is to stop buying things packaged in plastic....hahaha so yea seems impossible but its not. The TRUTH is there are MANY packaging alternatives that are NOT plastic. The fast food consumer culture needs to grow up and start looking beyond addiction and consumption to the bigger picture.
Best Regards~*~
