Inglorious Fruits and Vegetables

While the price of fresh fruits and vegetables goes up, vendors regularly toss out tons of produce because it’s not pretty. Perfectly good food in irregular shapes, sizes, and colors, is too often just wasted. French grocery chain Intermarché began a program of buying those “unacceptable” fruits and vegetables and selling them to the public -for 30% below regular prices! They call these products “Inglorious Fruits and Vegetables.” Shoppers get a bargain, and much less of their crops are wasted. I would love to buy ugly but fresh fruit at a 30% discount, instead of the way I do it now: saving 30% because the pretty fruit is overripe and about to rot. (via Viral Viral Videos)
