Having foregone nearly all packaged food and all flying for about five years, I can report similar results -- discovering that what was supposed to be more convenient, bringing the world closer, connecting me to family, and exposing me to more culture did the opposite.
Next to nobody I've shared my experiences with considers going without packaged food and flying possible, let alone my results, but experience speaks louder than their speculation.
- episteme 7y agoHave you done a writeup of how you made the switching to entirely non packaged food? I would imagine it would involve a lot more grocery trips?

- sethammons 7y agowe've mostly eliminated packaged food for years now, it is usually healthier and tastier to make it yourself. Some things make it past that filter for convenience. On the flying one, it is hard for me to understand. I literally never flew anywhere until I was nearly 30, where I had a work trip. Outside of work, I've flown once.
