grocery surprise

[cellio]

Recently I was surprised to find edamame for sale in a local grocery store. Score! This seems like a food that would be easy to take to work for lunch.

Tonight I opened a bag to find that it contained sub-bags. Boo for the packaging waste! But still, edamame... yum.

Then I pulled one out and saw the packaging. I don't know whether to be amused or disturbed. I do know that it is likely to affect just how I take this to work. :-)

On one hand, I'm all for pushing more nutritious snacking for children, but on the other hand, it seems to me that most children would be excited by the packaging and then horrified by the contents.

That would be my guess. Plus, I've never actually eaten them right out of the bag like that; I eat them lightly steamed. I wonder how much of a difference that makes in taste. Will investigate.
