  14. Safe, hygenic, sealed packaging is one thing. Two layers of plastic 
  15. and two layers of cardboard with a plastic wrapper around the outside 
  16. as well is just plain silly. Most of the "excess" packaging is for 
  17. advertising and marketing, not for hygiene. You really don't need a 
  18. bag inside a box inside a bag, do you? Use rigid plastic instead of 
  19. the box and the inner plastic to cut out a layer - but gosh, doesn't 
  20. the logo look weedy when it's not printed in proper four colours on 
  21. card?
  22. They still wrap fatty food in the wrong kind of cling-wrap over here. 
  23. Hygiene?
