    What really gets me is when I was young there was little to no plastic and we had plenty of convenience food with mainly paper, glass, and metal.

      Personally, I think the 1982 Tylenol Murders were the flashpoint that ignited the rise of overpackaging. Everything is tamper-proof sealed, which means more plastic.
