You mean the addition of single-use plastic to packaging that doesn't need it?

No ethical consumption etc

Aren't those windows often cellophane, not plastic?

Disagree, you have to remove that window to recycle the rest of the packaging. I specifically look for the ones with no window if possible

I'm willing to find common ground with the capitalists if they're willing to concur that this is their crowning achievement.

Can confirm. Our Eastern Bloc pasta didn't have windows under communism.

Always thought https://www.boredpanda.com/creative-packaging-pasta-hairstyles-nikita/ was a brilliant pasta marketing idea.

I mean, I see your point, but a shop here sells spaghetti in what's practically a paper envelope and that just feels like the right way to package spaghetti, on so many levels.
I don't see how that can't be improved by a window. We can do it for real envelopes after all, so that the letters can look out at the world.
Now I'm wondering how susceptible pasta is to going bad faster when exposed to light... Are we paying more for worse pasta because of marketing!?
Pasta was traditionally dried under sunlight, so I'd expect that to just not really be a thing...
Oh yeah, it is rather robust paper in this case. You could probably even dip it into water for a moment, without getting the spaghet wet.
Our plastic wrappings are rather robust, too, though, as most things are sold without the complementary cartons...
Everything here except the one expensive brand is just full plastic packaging. The one expensive brand used to have the window, but now removed it for environmental reasons.
When I realizes this I decided to switch to the more expensive brand, even if I'm very much paying for brand name, in the end it doesn't matter to me if a pack of spaghetti costs 89 cents or 2.09€ (even if it's like half my diet), but especially given the problems of microplastic I can't justify buying plastic packaged noodles.
