They do it already here at woolies, marketing stuff as the odd bunch. I noticed it with carrots, and bought them instead. But one pack I bought had heaps of split ones, which I'd happily buy for juice but not roasting etc. so I went back to normal ones for now. I'm sure it will be a regular thing once they work it all out.
I did a season on the mangoes one year, I reckon for every one that ends up on a tray four are thrown away. If you have a contract with coles or woolies, they wont allow you to sell the rejects. this may have changed since then, I believe they no longer send produce down to Brisbane, only to be sent back through their distribution network.
There's a few issues at play here, and a lot of it is people's refusal to take personal responsibility. For example, somebody goes dumpster diving and ends up getting sick... They'll turn around and try to sue the shops for having their bins unlocked. Or they serve it to their friends who get sick, and then blame the brand of food causing reputational damage. When the shops heavily discounted stuff on saturday afternoon, knowing it wouldnt make it till monday, a lot of people only went saturday afternoon and there were physical altercations over it.
There are vans that collect excess produce to feed homeless people etc., helping them spend more money on alcohol and drugs and encouraging antisocial behaviour in parks.
Behind the scenes there's a lot of waste, like the recent pineapple glut. The price is so low it would cost the farmer to take them to market, and the juice company offers them less than the diesel would cost to deliver them, so they're left to rot in a pile.
We've had strict border control policies for about 10 years. We've had sensible gun laws for about 25 years. There were no mass shootings in that 15 year period between.
And of course, we are already hearing of the "lone wolf" exception. so even if you arm and train so many tens of thousands of teachers and staff, if there's a shooting its fine, they were a lone wolf. Nothing to see here folks move on.
I'll have to bow to your superior knowledge then... Do nothing, and hope things change. Get tooled up to the back teeth with the most lethal and destructive weapons you can get your hands on, with little or no security checks, because you share land borders with Mexico and Canada. Take no notice of anywhere else that has been through the exact same thing, because ...you got to the moon first?
Meh, I'm sure we'll have the same difference of opinion after the next mass shooting, a friendly wager it wont be six months away. How sad is that, Russian roulette on a grand scale, for what? Oh thats right, in case you need to form a militia and overthrow the government (which has helicopter gunships and warplanes, not to mention the button)...
Its not a true representation, the lighting was all wrong. I didnt have any glitter. I was in a hurry.
It was a snap judgement, I didnt want my pants too far down because its unislamic, but I didnt want them too far up because it makes me look like godboy.
So are you suggesting a Plasticine type consistency? I can remember as a youngster, I'd get Plasticine in all bright colours, but after playing with it for a while it would be brown. So logically, I'm wondering if umm... its bright colours to start with, or umm..

That'd work for me I reckon...
