This is a given in any of the 4-5 largest Swedish grocery store chains. I wonder how it looks elsewhere in the world?
The things labeled “ecological” with a big, fat, green logo, are in plastic. The ones not marketed ecological, are not in plastic.
Without fail.
A typical counter. The pears wrapped up like they’re about to be sent into space as food for astronauts is labeled ecological, the other pears above them are not ecological.
Whoever buys these ecological apples in prettily wrapped sets of four like it’s tennis balls one is buying and not fruit, must be a weird person. I have never, ever in my life seen someone put them or anything similar in their cart, nor stood in line ahead or after someone who had them in their cart. But they are continuously there on display so there must be a demand. Someone is buying the crap. In my head I imagine those people must be morons. Pre-chosen, probably hand washed by a virgin unicorn, then slapped inside a big plastic wrapper so that the ecological logo can be printed somewhere with all its bragging rights. The red apples below, and the green further away, are of course not granted the label ecological.
Potato is also funny.
This is ecological potato. Make no mistake about it. It’s printed on the front, twice, in large letters as to make sure no one is missing out how brilliantly ecological they are, and they’ve been pre-chosen for you. You don’t even have to go through the hassle of dirtying your fingers when dropping them in your cart.
These potato, on the other hand, are not ecological. The bastards you actually have to choose and scoop up yourself.
Here, 90% of all the ecological fruit and vegetables are wrapped in plastic so desperately you’d think someone was trying to choke it. 90% of the fruit and vegetables not allowed to be branded ecological, is not in plastic.
Cucumbers in plastic, ecological. Cucumbers free of plastic, not.
Tomato
Carrots

You name it. All the ecological ones are choked in plastic. Maybe the artichoke likes it but the rest?
Paprika simply makes me think the world is deranged. Whoever buys those pre-packed sets of three in plastic with a green, a red, and a yellow paprika?
Now, I know ecological means how the things were grown, without which pesticides, but still. It does my head in how something with so much plastic shit around it is allowed be marketed as oh so ecological.
