Packaging

for some reason the Chinese seem to really, really like packaging.  Now I know I take more pills that the average person, okay three average people, but this the  the detritus from one weeks worth of meds:

They only make meds here in the minimum doses, so if you need more you take more pills.  and each and every pill is in its own bubble pack.  And it isn't just medications, a bag of peanuts comes with a little plastic tray in the bag, everything seems to come with an abundance of plastic packaging.
