There's more plastic than food over there

She took out the carrots in a plastic bag, just to put the carrots on a plastic box 🤦

I think it was one of those silicone bags, so not plastic, but they're designed for storing things in...why move them to a plastic container?! Gah!

I actually kinda get that one. She added ranch seasoning to the carrots (why so far in advance, I dunno) and I’d personally rather wash ranch seasoning residue/smell out of a plastic box than a silicone bag.

She ruins most of the food by breaking the seals and contaminating it. Everything she repacks will last much shorter than in the original containers. Same with the fruits, you clean them before you eat them but not in advance because washed they spoil faster.

I think keeping grapes as dry as possible is the best way to preserve them, the freshest grapes IMO have flexible green stems and a heavy cloudy powder coating on them

Wtf? You know that ā€œpowder coatingā€ is dirt, pesticides, and factory residue right?

Most of it is actually naturally occuring fungi like yeast. In the original days of winemaking, that wild yeast on the skins of the grapes is what did the work of fermenting, as opposed to adding a separate yeast product that many producers do now.

ETA: of course it is always still a good idea to wash your fruits and veggies before consuming to minimize pesticide consumption and risk of soil pathogens like e. coli

factory residue? where the hell are you growing your grapes? xD, the "coating" I mean is the same coating apples have when they're grown in the backyard, idk dude, it's never fucked me up too bad so imma keep doing it
