Lol what??? Have you never seen how the cookie is made and discarded? It amazes me how so many people on this VC-sponsored forum hold such environment conscious expectations. Many of you are in a strange state of mind about the true cost of things. Nothing is made cheaper in consumption; costs are just offloaded to nature.
FWIW: I grew up close to a copper mine, and currently live about 2 miles from a landfill (as the crow flies).

- speed_spread 3y agoI live in a province where the cookie is picked up by the compost truck and taken to the landfill because both the composting facility and landfill are run by the Mafia and one costs less to operate than the other.
