Yes, some packaging seems ridiculous but so is food waste. People typically won’t consume good that doesn’t look appealing, such as bruised peaches in your example. My wife and I started using Imperfect Produce, and we’ve been fairly pleased with it as it seems to address both problems.
- tomatocracy 7y agoFruit that doesn't look appealing can be (and is) made into juice which people are perfectly happy to drink (and other products like that). Isn't that a better solution?
