I have some friends in silicon valley that subscribed to this online delivery service for ugly produce: https://www.imperfectproduce.com https://www.imperfectproduce.com
It looks to me like a mix of too much disposable income, and getting brag rights at dinner party for virtue signaling.
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoMostly virtue signaling, and a clever way for the producer / seller to actually get more money for their produce than "nice looking" would - a LOT more than if it were used in a factory product where it would normally end up in.
- mneubrand 8y agoI'm subscribed to change my consumption habits and it has worked for the most part. I usually don't buy enough fruit and vegetables when I shop for myself and avoid certain vegetables completely. Imperfect fixes this for me. Fruit and vegetables just appear every week and once they're in my home I"m too cheap to let them go to waste so I end up eating them. I'd subscribe to normal produce delivery instead if that were an option. I don't really care about the "imperfect" part and the premium over my local supermarket is pretty negligible
