For some reason, I just can't let a post by Kate Malcolm complaining about "the disposable society" without responding.... it made more economical sense for consumers to purchase the oversized Wal-Mart jar, eat half or a quarter, and throw away the rest, than it did for consumers to buy the smaller jars at a price slightly lower than Wal-Mart's gallon-sized jars.And it's better to waste the resources that go into inefficient distribution? To waste more man-hours of labor, gasoline, advertising, and whatever else might be the difference between Wal-Mart and another retailer? Is it better to throw away more packaging per pickle consumed, as will likely happen when buying in smaller quantities? |
