Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied.
In fact, 93 percent of the people that are putting the Beyond Burger in their carts, at the nation's largest grocer, are also putting animal protein in their cart.
Even today, you'll watch me in a store, and only the grocers who know someone who really knows what they're doing permit this, but I pick up every piece of fruit to smell it before I put it in my basket.
It's jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away — from “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.
