They would be if they weren't tasteless, didn't brown inside the bag somehow, and weren't often mushy because they come frozen and thawing them fucks the texture. It's easier to just buy cases of avocados and use cut them to order, brushing the remaining half with lemon juice to prevent oxidation.

I know salad/pantry can get busy but fuck those bags.

The're vacuum packed, which I assume is why they aren't brown, and I doubt they came frozen - nobody does that. But yeah, it's really just a matter if the taste and texture is just as good. We use half avocados on a few things where I work and just buy them from the grocery store and cut them to order, and it takes like 5 seconds, but it's still kind of a pain sometimes.

We used to get cases of frozen halved advocados with easy peel corners, so yeah they exist.
>it's still kind of a pain sometimes
Agreed. I hated that the fuckers make a mess. We have a couple long-boards that ran the length of the hot-line and I would place a cutting-board on top of the cutting board for advocados on the end with a knife just for them so the salad station and I could share it and not make a damned mess anywhere else. If we need the space we could always chuck the board underneath the line or get rid of it on the dish cart (we had like 20 cutting boards).

I guess I'm fortunate to have never worked at a place that gets frozen avocados (we do actually get pre-breaded avocado pieces that we deep fry - it's literally the only thing we don't make from scratch other than our breads and a couple of our desserts). I just keep a shit towel my station to deal with shit like avocado. Already have a couple cutting boards stashed on a speed rack for salmon and raw chicken.

It's a flavoured straw so it's sort of a food product in itself. I would imagine they also offered non-individually packaged stainless steel straws that people could reuse or disposable paper straws because that's the sane thing to do but who knows I've never been in a starbucks.

How is it good for the environment to ship garbage 400 or 600 miles and then once it arrives you have to pay someone to take it? Not only that but it's shipped in uncovered trucks so if you are behind one it looks like a tickertape parade with all the little bits flying everywhere

>honestly how do you get to having this opinion
I'm not that anon, but it's easily figured out by simply applying your brain.

When recycling makes actual sense then people will pay you for the recyclable material. For example, a metal scrapyard will pay cash for iron, steel, copper, aluminum, lead, etc. A farmer can sell waste manure to be used as fertilizer. Sawdust from a sawmill or carpentry shop can be sold to make various products like particle board, paper, or used as fuel.

But most "recycling" costs more to do than the material itself is worth. That means that more energy is required to perform the recycling than would be saved by simply making that material new again. Cost is an excellent gauge of this. If someone is willing to pay for the recyclables then it is a net positive. If you have to pay for recycling to be done then it's just a wasteful circlejerk. It might feel good to say "I'm recycling" but the fact is that it is only causing more overall harm than good.

People recycle to feel good about themselves, that's all. If they cared about the environment they would just throw it in the trash. The only exception is aluminum cans. Same thing goes for solar and wind which use twice as much energy as it generates

I think some people recycle because the word has a good connotation. They think they are doing good by recycling, but they don't realize that not all recycling is net positive.

>> of disposable culture thanks to capitalism and materialism
More like human laziness. Non-capitalist financial systems are not free from being wasteful. Far from it, in fact. A capitalist business has financial incentive to minimize waste because doing so increases profits. A non-capitalist system has no such pressure to reduce waste.

>its shipped there because cost wise its too expensive to do it in america
the fact that it "costs too much" is proof positive that the recycling process is more wasteful than simply discarding it. When recycling really does conserve resources then people will pay for the scrap, as they do with metals, etc, described in >>11277784

I get that. But the point is that whether or not you are paid for your recyclables is a reliable proxy for determining whether or not the overall process is net positive. If you, or your city/government/etc acting on your behalf has to pay to recycle then that's a clear indicator that the process is net negative instead of net positive, and the money/resources could be better spent elsewhere.

>>11277834
I don't think it's a reliable proxy at all, it's going to be affected by the existing infrastructure, the marketability of the recycled product, the availability of virgin feedstock. Sure, with things like aluminium, recycling being profitable is a clear indicator that it takes vastly less resources, but the converse doesn't follow.

This, desu. People just throw their shit in another bin and think they made a difference. In many cases, the resources needed to recycles something, especially plastics (cleaning, removing impurities, reshaping) are the same or more at making it from the raw material. IIRC only metal and maybe glass are good to recycle.
There's a reason the 3 Rs are first Reduce, then Reuse, then Recycle and not the other way around.

It's because they very recently were one of the poorest countries in the world, and experience phenomenal growth in the latter half of the 20th century. Their food habits haven't caught up yet as culture is slow to change, so they still use food safety rules that would be useful in an undeveloped shithole country. It would not be wise to eat raw meat in Laos, and that's basically what Korea was like until very recently.

It's the same as Japan.
Japan grew as much as it did because it was the staging ground for the Korean War.
Koreans repeated the same thing when Vietnam War came about and they were chosen as the staging ground.

Isolationism never helped a country. Japan's development has exploded several times each time it was exposed to the rest of the world.

Dagashi are individually packed because they're supposed to be super cheap for kids to buy. They are usually sold individually for the equivalent of a few cents. It's the same idea as a kid buying a piece or two of hard candy in the west.

The more expensive stuff is packed so it seems nicer when you give it as gifts.

I wasn't aware they gifted sweets that often. When it comes to candies that are available everywhere very few are nicely packaged aside from maybe Ferrero Rocher and Russel Stover. Other than that you need to wait for a holiday or head to a specialty store (which are available in any populated area). I don't eat a lot of junk food though so maybe I'm wrong.

That thought doesn't even enter my mind. My train of thought is that the tool is a silly expenditure that probably doesn't even do the job which it claims to do. Most of those infomercial tier gizmos I've seen over the years simply don't work well at all. I don't see them as being "for lazy people". I see them as a "a ripoff product which doesn't work and is sold based on lies".

Of course it makes sense that disabled people could benefit from tools which help them do things that they otherwise can't, but:
-I'm not around disabled people often enough to think about their needs (I don't mean to insult anyone, I'm just stating a fact)
and
-I would think that they would have other sources for products which actually work properly, which is something I don't expect out of a silly gizmo like this. I'd think they'd go through a medical supplier instead.

>Their bread all has sugar in it. They put sugar in their butter.

To Koreans, western food is for the most part a "fun" and "snacky" (not sure how to put it) cuisine. We don't eat it as "serious" food that will become savory staples in our dinner tables. Our cuisine is so different from Western foods that Western food will be just fun curiosities. Hence the slight sweetness in Western foods. Bread to us is dessert or snacks, not meals.

>>11289308
Tartare is made with what we hope is high quality meat. When we eat tartare we're mentally prepared to eat raw meat. However typical Koreans squirm if they find blood in what's supposed to be "fully cooked" steak. Many younger Koreans are changing, but that's still the common attitude.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 5 11:59:36 2018 No.11293163 Japan has got to be the most wasteful place on the planet. Every single thing you buy comes in 3 layers of packaging, minimum. The amount of garbage I produce just opening my groceries is obscene.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 5 12:06:30 2018 No.11293180 >>11293167 so just because it's cheap it's an excuse to wrap fuckloads of it around your food. great logic, nips.

We do it because first of all it's convenient to have packaging for food. We eat smaller portions in general (unlike Westerners who might eat many cookies straight out of the box) so it's better to have independent packaging for a few cookies each, for example, for freshness.

Yes, it's wasteful. However to us the convenience and freshness factor outweighs the cost (environment and waste of plastic)
