Selling Ugly Fruit
« on: November 24, 2015, 08:57:33 AM »
I thought this belonged here: http://www.nytimes.com/video/us/100000004050695/edible-but-ugly.html .
Basically, it is a startup buying and selling ugly fruit (at a significant discount), that is otherwise discarded for purely aesthetic reasons.

I was surprised to see that chain supermarkets in Toronto now sell bags of unattractive apples. Good for them.
