The food was organic, the food packaging was recyclable or compostable, and the whole show aimed at zero waste. I have gotten to the point where I find it to be upsetting and offensive to be around highly wasteful environments. <BR/>As to a good snack - I have found that Cabot's individually wrapped cheddar, which I buy in a bag at Costco, lasts a few days on the road at room temperature. I suppose you could say the individual packaging is wasteful, but at least the cheese comes from a coop in the same region more or less!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23840632.post-7082745810866882112007-11-11T13:41:00.000-05:002007-11-11T13:41:00.000-05:00I work in a downtown convenience store which is cl...I work in a downtown convenience store which is close to several theaters. We get a lot of people coming in specifically to buy theater-type items, like the large candy boxes sold there. Yes, it's cheaper to buy from us than to buy at the theater, even though everything downtown is overprices.<BR/><BR/>A lot of places have signs announcing that ABSOLUTELY no outside food or drink is allowed inside, since THEY want to be the ones to overcharge you. Whenever I see one I want to add my own sign (or graffiti): STOP FOOD PROFILING!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
