[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 2485, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.nwitimes.com/business/local/eat-your-ugly-fruit-and-veggies/article_98048b76-41b2-53a6-ae43-3ce53e2257c3.html'][B]Eat your (ugly) fruit and veggies - NWI Times[/B][/URL] Walk down any grocery aisle and you’ll likely see rows of perfectly stacked produce, all ripe, shiny and begging to be picked by shoppers. What consumers don’t see is that there’s plenty more where that came from that didn’t make it to the grocery store. An estimated 63 million tons of food is thrown away in the United States each year, according to ReFED, a nonprofit that researches food waste policies. While the organization estimates less than 20% of that food waste occurs at farms and locations where food is packed — 80% is generated by homes and businesses — the produce deemed “not attractive enough” to make it to store shelves offers a unique opportunity for consumers.
