From The Washington Post‘s What Bugs Me page:
Have you paid attention to how our supermarkets deliberately waste food? Daily they cull fruits with slight bruises and wilting vegetables. Not long ago, these were offered to customer at a reduced price on a separate rack. When I asked the produce manager what happened to this still-good food he said: “It all goes in the trash. As store policy dictates, for fear that someone might get sick eating it. Even employees are forbidden to take it home.” What waste in this world of hungry people! — Rose Baker, Aroda
