I am just about at my wits end when it comes to opening packs of food.
I know that we are basically Hunter/gatherers and we have a working brain but when it comes to opening even the smallest item, either in blister wrap or especially clingfilm, this is really hard work and I think it may be time to go out again and catch our food in the packaging that God provided.
I would sooner skin a rabbit than open a pack of cheese from Tescos and I think it would be quicker to do the rabbit than try to open a packet of double wrapped hygienically sealed biscuits from a major manufacturer.
Even when you do eventually open the biscuits you quite often find them broken.Are they packed broken or is this a problem caused by wrapping them too tightly at the factory?
Then you come to cheese, especially soft cheese,provided for sale wrapped in a form of high tech cling film that has no beginning and certainly no end.
No instructions and no built in magnifying glass to help you identify a venerable spot which might yield to a sharp knife or other pointed object.
By the time you have plucked up courage to attack the wrapping by any means possible to blast an entry, the cheese is in such a flattened and distorted shape that you wonder whether it is worth eating.
On reflection, perhaps this is the way Supermarkets are helping us to slim without affecting their sales figures! More on that later.
Right, I'm off now to find a substitute crispy nut cornflake out in the local fields and perhaps a cow to provide the milk without the packaging.
