Again it seems that one of the pluses of plastic is also it’s negative. Plastic packaging seems to enable a vast variety of foods to be taken away to be consumed including ready meals, but is it rather than the plastic packaging allows such foods to processed off site and shipped or stored for use elsewhere. Again plastic packaging separates the consumer from the producer.
