We watched this video about ugly fruit and veg being sold in France and wrote newspaper articles about it. We think that we should do this in New Zealand Supermarkets!
Funny
fruits
In
France at their supermarket, Intermache. This year they have been selling funny
shaped fruits and Veggies, they have been doing this to save the fruits from
getting thrown away. The farmers were throwing away a 3rd of the
fruits and vegies .
So
when you go to the supermarket here you could tell the manager to tell the
farmers not to throw away the funny shaped fruits and vegies, so we don’t waste
any.

Extraordinary news here in beautiful France. The Intermache
super market imperfect fruit and veg for cheaper, for the cause of wasting
fruit And veg that doesn’t look as good as the ones you find in super market.
It is happening here in 2014, no one knows will it spread or will it not? They
are doing this because farmers around the world are wasting bad looking food
and chucking the odd looking food out. But now here in France

I think introducing Ugly Fruit is a great idea. It's amazing how much we 'eat with our eyes' as consumers.
