Not to side with the supermarkets, but they must have based that on what
was left on the shelves? Same happens for anything where you let the
customer self-select, e.g. look at all the banana-wood piled up in Wickes.


Soup makers should not be too worried about wonky vegetables so I
would have thought that could be an outlet for products who aren't
the plant equivalent of a supermodel. Judging by the demand for food
banks we'll soon have a need for as many soup kitchens as we can get.

ain't that just the truth. we have a trolley in the local supermarket for a
food bank and it's usually full. we are all only a few pay cheques away
from needing it. I put something in there every time I go there.
Because maybe what if it was me that needed it?
