I've had that site bookmarked for a long time now. Very refreshing to see heartwarming news stories when the main news headlines are so depressing.

“Recent experience in the UK shows that selling wonky fruit and veg has enormous potential and is one of the easiest ways of dramatically reducing food waste in the supply chain,” she told Resource magazine. “In 2012 alone, 300,000 tonnes of fruit and veg were saved from being wasted due to UK retailers temporarily relaxing their cosmetic standards because of bad weather.
