Hi,
	This is my first encounter with this net so please excuse me if
this topic has already been threshed out before.

A few seconds ago I polished off a small bag of potato chips( part of my
sad lunch - I'm having to work today to meet some deadlines) and I'm
horrified to see how few chips are being packaged in how large a piece
of foil. This is an absolute outrage. Its a double whammy too. You buy
something based on the size of the packaging and get much less (Oh, all
right I know there's a weight marked on it but how few of us can judge
contents on weight alone?) and we also get to pay for disposing the extra
unnecessary trash. How is this allowed to go on? This is also the case
with many other foods - cereals, other snack foods etc. I'm sure the
manufacturers have a nice explanation about how the stuff settles in
transit and how they want the chips to not break so they fill the 
package up with air etc etc but I refuse to believe the package has t
be twice as big as necessary. I feel so mad and impotent against
these slimeball merchants!! Passing legislation against excessive
packaging is a guaranteed way to reduce trash although I'm sure no
politician would have the guts to bring up this issue! Any suggestions?
