sainsburys are absolutely bonkers
I am a greengrocer and I have seen the waste
in the wholesale markets,that are dumped because the inspectors have said that they are not up to a certain standard
we dump far too much food its about time the consumer realised that the supermarkets
care only about themselves not what their customers want
