OT: healthy food with horrible packaging rant

I have been trying pre-packaged gluten-free foods like cookies and crackers. some are great, but I am shocked at the wasteful packaging. a full-size box with just 10 cookies inside surrounded by two layers of plastic. now these are sold in the "groovy healthy" store, so why all the plastic?

oh yeah, and it has been exactly a month and I am still feeling better than I have in two years! yp

I agree w/ SJ! I eat these yummy Kashi 7 whole grain oatmeal choc chip cookies as my guilty pleasure. They have low sugar/carb content and healthy organic dark chocolate. All you need is one and you feel like you had dessert. But, there are only 8 per package and they come in a big box, plastic, and wrapping over that, with a stay fresh packet inside. The box says that because they are organic w/ all that healthy stuff they will harden up really quick if you don't rewrap the plastic and close the box. They even recommend keeping the box in an airtight tupperware container, or just the cookies. I keep mine in the package and they have been fine but I am always careful to wrap it up. I thought the same thing as you though! What a waste!

I have made great peanut butter cookies from Bob's Red Mill's website.

Hey Broom - just an fyi, I am not on a gluten free diet so I am not sure of the gluten content of the cookies. Just that they are way healthier carb and sugar wise (and have healthy grains and fiber) than traditional cookies.

It seems like I keep hearing about gluten free foods.....is this something that could be helpful?
