Miscellaneous

I am the person for whom pre-sliced and packaged fruit and veggies were invented.  It's humiliating to admit, but I am too lazy to clean and slice my own fruits and veggies.  If they aren't ready for me to pick up and eat, then I'll eat something less healthy but requiring no preparation.  If I buy fruits and veggies that require cleaning and slicing?  There's maybe -- maybe -- a 50% chance they'll be prepared, even for dinner.  If it weren't for organic, cleaned salad greens, we'd probably never have salad. 

This extends to water, too. Can you believe this?!  Despite having a number of Nalgene bottles and a fancy fridge with filtered ice and  water, I wondered if I would drink more water if it came in cheap plastic bottles. Go figure -- now I'm drinking close to the recommended amount of water. 

I can't even begin to calculate how much plastic is consumed just because I can't take Henckels to Pink Lady. 

In my own defense, I don't necessarily think it's sloth.  I don't use mixes for corn bread or pancakes or waffles (although I will for cakes) and I have to make my own vinaigrette for those salads made with pre-packaged greens.  I like to cook -- I just don't like to prep snacks.
