Like the Post says this may be a case of lactose intolerance.

Individually wrapped cheese would be largely banned under a far-reaching bill getting pushed by New York environmentalists and politicians to reduce the use of plastics, The Post has learned.

The state bill — called Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act — would require companies with net incomes over $1 million who sell or distribute food or products to reduce plastics and other packaging that ends in landfills or waterways by 50% over the next 12 years.

It would also impose a fee on companies that use plastic packages, with money going toward recycling programs and infrastructure. 

While a number of other states have banned plastic wrapped cheese, this goes to show the kind of control freaks environmentalists truly are. No indication they even bothered to call the manufacturers and urged them to end this practice.

Food prices have increased dramatically in recent years and people have enough problems affording products they need to eat. This ban will very likely increase the cost of doing business and companies who produce plastic-wrapped cheese will only pass on the cost to customers in the form of higher prices.

This is what environmentalism is all about, looking for the smallest things to control or prohibit in order to make your life more difficult, if not miserable.
