Look at the difference between an apple off a tree vs this "convenient serving size portion."
The apple from the tree is not far from the serving size; is already packaged, has had its contents filtered by a complicated mechanism with multiple means of arresting contamination or showing that it has happened. It's even got "tamper evident" protections.
Vs the pouch, which is composed of partly of intentionally inedible stuff. The food parts are how far from a tree? been through how many machines and transportation systems? The materials in a single pouch came from how wide a geographic area and had how many humans responsible for their integrity in that time?
It seems like an immense amount of tangential efforts and risk to go to, and the only real selling point of the pouches is that the consumer doesn't have to chew their food.

- whatamidoingyo 3y agoAn apple from the grocery store can last upwards of a year before rotting. I.e. when you buy an apple, it's probably 10 months old, from what I've read. So if your reason for storing them is some doomsday scenario, there is no real advantage. You can also freeze them or store them yourself in some jars, if you want to.
- Eisenstein 3y agoAre you being hyperbolic to make a point, or do you really not see how packaging the apple in in a sterile pouch is a giant advantage?
