Say 80-90% of that apple is totally fine and people will use these things for all kinds of cooking, let alone just eating. Yet, you can't buy them or any other "damaged" food items. Its shocking in the sense that food is so expensive and with arable land decreasing and populations increasing we know that the prices will continue to rise.
So, bearing that mind, there are people honestly advocating that a store that won't sell bruised apples should now sell meat that has potentially been contaminated! Its more than amusing, its ridiculous! Put whatever warning out you want and (A) very few people would actually buy it (B) if one person gets sick, let alone dies, and you as the store knew it was contaminated and you get sued, for sure.

Forgive me, I haven't shopped for produce in Calgary for about 15 years, but doesn't Calgary have chinese/corner/independent grocers?
My local guys have things in a range and the price reflects that.
