Ke noʻonoʻo nei mākou e pili ana i nā kūlana nani maoli ʻole, ʻaʻole paha ka huahana ka mea mua i hiki i ka naʻau. Akā e alo iā ia: Hoʻokolokolo mākou āpau i kā mākou huahana e pili ana i nā hiʻohiʻona. No ke aha e ʻohi ai i ka ʻōpala misshapen ke hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i kahi pōʻai puni, ʻeā?

Akaka, penei ka manaʻo o nā mea kūʻai aku: ʻAʻole kūpono i ka iwakālua pakeneka o nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu i ulu ma nā mahiʻai ma US i kēlā me kēia makahiki i nā kūlana hoʻonaninani koʻikoʻi o nā hale kūʻai. E mōakāka, ʻo kēia mau hua ʻaʻano 'cosmet' a me nā veggies-think: kahi kāloti curvy a i ʻole ʻano ʻono ke ʻano o ke kōmato ma loko o ka mea i loko (ʻoi aku ka nui ma aneʻi: 8 "Ugly" Nutrient-Packed Fruits and Vegetables) akā, pau lākou i luna i nā landfills, ke hāʻawi nei i kahi pilikia nui ʻōpala meaʻai. He 133 biliona paona meaʻai i hoʻopau ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki, e like me ka US Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Akā i kēia manawa, ʻo kēlā mau mea ʻono loa akā liʻiliʻi hoʻi, curvy, a i ʻole nā ​​huahana Winky-nānā ʻē aʻe ke loaʻa nei ka manawa i ka nānā. Ua hoʻolaha aku ʻo Whole Foods i kahi papahana pailaka me ka Imperfect Produce-kahi hoʻomaka ʻana o Kaleponi i hoʻokumu ʻia i kēia huahana "cosmetic-challengeed" mai nā mahiʻai a hāʻawi i nā mea kūʻai aku i nā kumukūʻai hōʻemi - e hoʻāʻo i nā kūʻai aku o nā hua liʻiliʻi ma mua o ka maikaʻi i loko o ka lima. o na halekuai ma Kaleponi Akau e hoomaka ana i keia mahina ae. Wahi a NPR, ua hoʻonāuki ʻia ka hoʻoholo e Change.org petition mai EndFoodWaste.org i kaomi iā Whole Foods i #GiveUglyATry.

Hana ʻo Imperfect Produce i nā hana e hōʻemi i ka pilikia ʻōpala o ka meaʻai ma ka U.S. ʻoiai e hoʻonui ana i ka loaʻa kālā no nā mahiʻai a hana i nā huahana e hōʻole ʻia no nā kumu cosmetic wale nō i loaʻa i nā ʻohana ma ke kumukūʻai kumukūʻai. (E kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka ʻōpala, e ʻike iā 8 Hacks e hoʻolōʻihi i nā meaʻai olakino.)

ʻOiai ʻo Whole Foods e ʻōlelo nei ua hoʻohana mua lākou i nā hua 'ʻino' i kā lākou meaʻai i hoʻomākaukau ʻia, nā wai momona, a me nā mea momona, he hana nui kēia no ka pae hale kūʻai ʻāina. ʻO ke kaulahao supermarket nui ʻē aʻe wale nō ma ka US e kūʻai aku i nā huahana kūpono ʻole ʻo Giant Eagle, nāna i hoʻolaha aku nei i ka pule i hala e hoʻomaka ana lākou e kūʻai aku i nā hua ʻino a me nā mea ʻai no ke aloha i kā lākou papahana Produce me Personality hou ʻelima o kā lākou hale kūʻai Pittsburgh.

"Inā ʻoe e kapa iā lākou he keu, ʻoi aku, kekona, a i ʻole ʻino wale nō, he mau huaʻai a me nā mea kanu kēia e kū nei i ka hōʻole ʻia no ka mea ʻaʻole lākou i manaʻo ʻia he ʻano maikaʻi loa," wahi a Giant Eagle ʻōlelo a Daniel Donovan i ka NPR. "Akā ʻo ka ʻono ka mea nui." Kālua mākou i kēlā.

A ʻo ka mea koʻikoʻi paha: Ua maopopo iā mākou hiki iā mākou ke hoʻopau i nā hiʻohiʻona inā loaʻa ia me ka mālama kālā nui ma ka waihona kālā. No ka mea ʻaʻole kumu kūʻai ka maikaʻi. Me kahi laki, kōkua paha kēia i ka Whole Foods e nalowale i kā lākou 'Whole Paycheck' rep. A hiki i kēlā lā, e ʻike pono ʻoe e heluhelu ma 6 mau ala e mālama ai i ke kālā ma nā mea kūʻai.
