### <center>This has been something that's bothered me for a long time... Why do people still buy vegetables wrapped under plastic and styrofoam?  </center>

I'm pretty sure you can see clearly in the picture above how much of the aisle is covered in plastic.  It's outrageous really, and I'm not sure how the psychology behind this behaviour lies, how have we become so content  with _**sterilization**_, how is it that __*germophobia*__ has taken over so much of the westerner's mindset?  

### Look at the other end of the same aisle:

You see? Plastice for ever...  it goes all the way down the aisle!  There were very few *naked* vegetables.  I try to buy as little food under plastic as I can as one way to save a piece of the panet... In other words this is one of my #EarthDeeds.  Thanks to @Elamental for that tag!

And I don't claim to be a saint when it comea to this kind of stuff, I could have gone to another store to get my carrots, lentils, and mushrooms, I'm nor really sure why I didn't.  

The flour I got because all the bread is basically shit in these stores or it's stupide expensive... so I'll be making bread again.   Same thing goes for the yogurt, I should get into making that too, it's so simple!  

Well, thanks for joining me on this rant, I would love some feedback on what supermakets behaviors are like in different areas of the world.  How expensive is it to eat healthy from your conveniance shops and how available is it?  

The market I just brought you to is in Brooklyn, NY.   Buying organic can get expensive here but it is found just about everywhere.  On the other hand, buying food in bulk to avoid packaging  isn't very popular.
