Hey this has crossed my mind a couple of times and was just wondering my local whole foods has mounds of fruit and vegetables. Im assuming that they don't sell all of the fruits and veges so what do they do with the leftovers??? They don't trash them do they???

thanks

    I know its crazy, they throw banana's away when they start to brown on the outside. That's usually what I like to start eating them because the starches in banana's will have broken down and they're easier to digest. Plus they're sweeter!!!

    And for all the talk of world hunger with as much as we waste....

    It does not all get thrown away. Much of it is donated. Here in the south region, the rest goes to a compost facility and returns as Farmer D Biodynamic compost (great stuff)!!

    Check out http://www.farmerd.com/product/farmer_d_compost_16qt/organic_fertilizer for more information on the compost.

    yes. sadly, most of the time, it gets thrown away! many stores throw away their unsold goods.. have you never heard of freecyclers?? they are people who go through these trash cans and pick out all the good stuff. its something i've always wanted to do, but i just dont know where to do it! ahh!
