    Loose produce generates a lot more wasted produce because people pick through for the best looking apples. Plastic packsging reduces the cost to the retailer.

    If we want to reduce plastic, it has to be at the manufacturing and packaging step. Add the cost of pollution to the cost of creation. If we try to just tax convenience to death at the point of consumption, it will never work and it will make a lot of people angry.
