        Unfortunately, weighting produce in most Dutch supermarkets (@albertheijn @JumboSupermarkt etc) still happens in those endless, non bio-degradable plastic baggies...

        Sounds like a great line but did anybody think that through? If you want to protect something, you wrap it in something not easily destroyed right?

        Agreed , the quote in the headline is just plain stupid, it's perfectly LOGICAL, and the longevity of each is completely irrelevant. I get the point of the story, but it's a stupid line.
