What else has a super high packaging waste per consumable volume?

I would expand that and say small kids in general are super wasteful. They consume a lot of resources, produce a lot of trash (and noise) and are a significant source of stress and sleep deprivation, both of which are suspected of causing cancer. ๐Ÿ˜…

The good news is they are biodegradable.

Sort of. Bones take a long time to degrade.

As someone who chose to be child free for many reasons, faeces everywhere, noise, trash and sleep deprivation are high on the list.

Almost 6 months with my daughter, nobody told me these babies get teeth?! Now she's crying at me because she bit herself and it's my fault!

She is hungry but doesn't want to eat? That's your fault. Tired, but doesn't want to sleep? Your fault.

There's still time to run out to the store for a pack of cigarettes.
