The irony is that pre-prepped fruit is used to reduce environmental waste. The store takes fruit that is at the end of it's "on the shelf in its natural skin" life, and processes it to make it appealing to eat for a few days longer. For oranges that might have blemished skin; remove the skin and put it in a plastic tin and you can keep it on shelves for a bit longer. For mangoes and melons and berries you can cut out or toss the bits that are starting to rot, and make fruit salad with the good half of the fruit. And so on.
- shawn-furyan 11y agoExcellent point. This is the fundamental issue with meme outrage. It almost always relies on assuming the complex incentive structure that leads to something existing in the world reduces to 'lazy idiots made it happen'. Looking for nuance in the subject of the meme almost always works against this assumption.
