Plastic food packaging encourages obesity.

The author discusses the impact of plastic food packaging to the health of people in Great Britain. He mentions that the plastic packaging that encases the food they purchase has changed their relationship with food where they are constrained by poor dietary choice, just as food is encased in its cellophane. He states that plastic alienates invisibly the people from many significant aspects of food preparation, production and consumption that once enabled them to make safe nutritional choices.
