who will cut the cheese?

my youngest daughter barely eats. chocolate milk alone keeps her alive. but one thing she does eat is kraft cheese slices, which come in plastic wrap. above she was running away from me with cheese in hand.
i hate cheese, so the thought of buying a cheese block and cutting it makes me feel a little sick to my stomach.

i’d rather see if i can recycle the wrappers with plastic bags than go the other route.

what has the ipod done to this country?

while many (ok, probably all) electronics are made of plastic, i wonder whether inventions like “video on demand” and the mp3s on the ipod have cut down on plastic consumption. or even netflix, since renting seems better than buying.

in a quick google search, i didn’t see anything come up.
