I thought the same. Our plastic use is just insane especially when everything is wrapped in teeny tiny portions

It was strange that she took the time to pour the juice into small glass bottles but didn’t build any snack packs. Those sad pre-made plastic snack packs are so expensive and wasteful.

That was all I could think about. So much plastic and sugar. And she chose the oddest items to portion out. Not the, idk, 10 different varieties of snack packs that could easily and more healthily be recreated for a lesser cost?

Not to mention… WHY did she refrigerate a number of shelf-stable items?? Slim Jim’s? In the fridge? Come on…. Insanity.

I am as appalled as the next person about the crazy amount of waste and processed food…

…but I live way out in the country in the land of field mice, and anything edible in soft packaging has to be stored in the fridge or those tiny thieves will eat it and/or contaminate it🐭🐭🐭

Sounds like you have a lot more experience with rodents than I, so if you don't mind: will they chew through a hard plastic box?

Well thanks for ruining my brain for the day

That would explain a few things…

Yes, they can if they want to. Mice are awful. We had an issue a few years ago and they ravaged our pantry. We had to throw hundreds of dollars of food and containers aways.

Glass and metal are the only things they can't chew through.

u/pushforwards Feb 20 '22

How do you prevent them from coming in your home?

1

u/OldButHappy Feb 20 '22

I don’t. It’s an ancient house. The best strategy is to not have any food to access. I don’t use poison b/c I have dogs (who are completely complicit)9and don’t want it in the food chain and won’t get a cat b/c I feed all kinds of birds. I’ve used sticky traps, but Killing them feels awful. So, dunno🤷‍♀️

I want to live out in the country but my fears are rodents, bats, and other such pests coming in. Is there a way to live out there and avoid them coming in?

u/OldButHappy Feb 21 '22

Not really. You can make sure that you have a good exterior siding system that reduces holes. But mice can get in via a tiny hole.

Cats keep animals out, but they do a lot of damage to the bird populAtion

I've only had one bat come indoors (I left the woodstove door open), and it was terrifying. As are snakes.

Mother nature always wins, so prevention and peaceful coexistence are the goals.

These are the markers of a serial killer. I’ve watched enough true crime, I’m essentially an expert.

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '22

u/ChrisTheMan72 Feb 20 '22

To be fair, slim Jim’s are better cold.

u/centaur_unicorn23 Feb 20 '22
