Andy, you make a great argument for not buying a Foodsaver but for buying and cooking only fresh meat! Everything else sounds spot-on, too.
Different strokes for different folks.
Similarly, why should I buy that Lincoln Navigator when I'm perfectly happy with my Hyundai Santa Fe? Some of us don't need or want to freeze steak for a year. We have beef so seldom it never hits the freezer, unless it's ground meat for chili or taco. For that, my ziplock sandwich bag squeezed free of air, then double-bagged in a freezer bag. For us, steak has to be fresh and fresh-bought.Who needs a car, when you have a horse?
Seriously, it is the same thing. Nobody "needs" a vacuum sealer....
