Ugly Vegetables will help ease Food crisis? (Settles Sept. 1)

Voided

Mork, I'm trying to save this market but it's just very confusing and there's so many things that need to be given definitive definitions. Also I think finding settlement info on this would prove difficult.

Background:

The question is this:
Will any major American food retailer include any fruits or vegetables on their shelves which are marketed as including product which would previously not have been included in it's package?

This question arises from this news article/video: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/06/080626-food-video-ap.html


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
Any news article or image of authentic advertising will be considered for settlement. Vegetables can be fresh, frozen or canned

Great idea! Rather than waste ugly food offer it at a discount... Let customers decide.

From video: Opposition says this would confuse customers

@Opposition - come on, be honest, you think we're stooopid!
