Dinosaurs in my Lunch

I just attended a catered lunchtime meeting. The finished meal was strikingly petroleum-intensive: the sandwich, carrots, and potato chips were all separately wrapped in plastic; the condiments came in little plastic packets; the water was in a plastic bottle; and the napkins and utensils were in a plastic bag. Even the apple had one of those plastic sticker-labels on it. (And probably all of the food was grown with petroleum-based fertilizers and, of course, carried around in trucks and trains and airplanes.) No wonder.
