Why? So a pint of cantaloupe can cost $14? In the US, consumption of prepackaged fruit and veggies are rare enough that I'd be willing to bet the waste created from these (all the ones I've seen are recyclable containers, BTW) is minimal to all the fast food wrappers, boxed dinner meals, and non-recyclable waste created from how we eat normally.
