Packaging

I think people, including myself, are greatly stressed and distressed by packaging.  We are being hypnotised to consume products against out will and one sees this by the fact that many people eat more and eat more of the the wrong stuff than they need which, as mentioned, is entirely against their will.

Packaging is designed to influence people and as I said hypnotise them into buying a product.  Often people haven't got the money and this factor alone is driving people mad.

We can be so manipulated by colour and design and become helpless victims of a consumption philosophy.  I find it helpful to imagine/visualise the product itself and mentally discard the packaging.  Also recycling is one of the most wasteful elements in the system.  It would be far better for the environment and for our minds and figures to not produce the packaging in the first place.
