The Sysco "Natural" line of herbs is definitely a thing of beauty. They're really nice, really well packaged and really pricey until, like you point out... you do a cost analysis on waste vs usage.

What I find hilarious is that LITERALLY the same Tyson chicken will be put in to a Sysco "Imperial" box that is put in to a US Foodservice "whatever their premium line is" box and an idiot chef will proclaim affection for one over the other. I'd wager that 90% of what the two sell are analogous products. The homogenization of American Food. Woo-hoo!
