Same for sugar, it’s really annoying that so many things have switched to plastic. Gram crackers, Ritz and Saltines all used to be in waxed paper when I was a kid and were fine.
Now they switch to plastic, but make sure it’s tinted to mimic the old paper versions.
There might be a desire from those that were looking for the top response to let it ride for visibility. I wish most things were as practically packaged as flour.
Edit: Can we do coffee next? I drink a lot of the stuff, and unless I roast my own, there is absolutely no environmentally friendly option. I tried roasting my own. I set off the smoke detector, upset the dogs, and made my house smell bad.
Most of the local roasters I go to sell coffee in recyclable paper bags that are technically resealable using the little bendy tie thingy. I end up just dumping it into an airtight glass jar once I open it up though.
Mine are always using plastic. I guess because they can seal it better? I feel like if I’m buying it directly to have it fresh this really doesn’t do shit, so I would be very cool with paper bags too.
Downvoting isn’t for disagreement. If you think the conversation is valuable you can upvote for visibility while disagreeing in a comment. This is important subject matter that needs to be hashed out!
I think it’s because a lot of people’s (myself included) knee-jerk reaction is “yeah, those bags do suck”, then they look at the comments and either realize the tide is against them or end up agreeing with the points in the comments upon reflection.
It is adequate.
It performs it’s function.
No need for extreme consumerism & garbage production.
It’s biodegradable, renewable, and only needs to get from the manufacturer to your cabinet, where it can be replaced with heartier permanent storage.
Real environmentalists just pack the flour into their jeans pockets to avoid unnecessary paper waste
Classic Hank Scorpio
Real environmentalists keep a little dirt under their pillow for the dirt man, in case he comes to town.
You joke but bulk stores exist where you can literally just take your own container and avoid the crappy leaky bags altogether.
Annoyingly they’re basically deli prices in my city
I just put it straight into my mouth to avoid the extra cleaning and energy of cooking. Don’t you even care about the planet?

And it also needs to leave everything inside my backpack coated in a thin layer of flour.
What I don’t get is why they put it in a single two-layer paper bag instead of two single-layer paper bags, which would clearly be more effective.

Top comment is against the post, but the post has almost no downvotes. What is happening here?

No local roaster that sell directly? We have a couple that sell by weight so I can bring in my own containers.
Roast it outside or on the stovetop with the fan going if that’s not an option

General rule of thumb is that for every 100 that vote, 10 read the comments and 1 will ever post.
