I live between two major supermarkets, and neither of them provide any way for me to do this. All the meat in both is pre packaged (in store) before it hits the shelf. If you go to the butcher counter, they will package it in front of you.

This is a stupid assertion. Plenty of healthy food comes in shiny plastic packages, plastic bottles, or tin cans. You're essentially just shaming people for wanting more convenient food options.
Only when you buy junk, which I assert is not actually food anyway.
Stick the outside and you'll buy fruit, vegetables, meat, beans, rice and pasta.
You can put all of those into re-usable bags or containers and buy everything you need to eat very healthy meals with no waste at all.
