The plastic-wrapped fruit lasts longer so there is less food waste (and less carbon wasted on shipping wasted fruit).

- limomium 7y agoThere would also be less food waste if the stores just, you know, gave away the products about to spoil to people who, you know, aren't rich enough to be picky about their bananas.
- nitrogen 7y agoThat does happen with bread at least. I grew up in a place where shopping at the "canned food store" and "bread store" was common. These were places that sold food that had expired off the shelves of other stores at steep discounts. Sometimes the food was just given away by grocery stores, too.
