Our local supermarket is providing paper bags and encouraging customers to give plastic packaging a miss. However from half a dozen kinds of mushrooms only one kind are loose the others all packaged. The same applies to pears,apples etc. etc.

This has a Warholian feel to it. Radical, some might call it.

Paper is a good idea, Jean. More sales for the Canadian paper industry. As you know, our economy is under attack from the Trumperialists; we could use a few paper sales.

Of course, you'd think Canadian companies might use paper, eh (these radishes were bagged by a company in Burlington, Ontario)? Have American interests infiltrated the Canadian radish sector?

I never realized how much pop art had invaded my psyche, Sarah, until I took up photography and started producing pop photos.

Radish and radical are from the same root, so not only an accomplished pun but an informative one. "Radish and radical are from the same root" is a metapun, I guess.

Lots of interesting 'food for thought' in the shot and connmments!
Here in Spain, supermarkets are cottoning on to the adverse puclic reaction to unnecessary plastic packaging but there is still far too much of it. It also leads to food waste. If you don't have a family of 6 to feed, but need to buy fruit, some will invariably be chucked out uneaten. Oranges and lemons are a case in point. Until recently my local supermarket never sold these loose. I have to say, though, that I am lucky in that I have a good traditional daily market nearby.
