I&#x27;m optimistic that packaging will be greatly reduced in the near future.<p>Much of current packaging is for retail presentation and theft prevention. Completely unnecessary for online shopping.<p>In fact, I just learned about Amazon&#x27;s Hassle Free Packaging option, which I imagine is motivated by reducing shipping and handling costs. That package should be arriving today. I have the impression the product&#x27;s original box is used, vs putting it into another, larger box for shipping.<p>The American diet is transitioning away from processed foods, which uses a lot of packaging. Kids, old and young, don&#x27;t need every single thing to be a pretty cereal box or single serve container.
