Picking Up Fruits At The Market

Everyday at the market at Porta Palazzo, after the stalls closed up, a lot of fruits and vegetables are left on the ground, the cleaners will come and throw them away, more and more often I see people come to pick them up and bring home. Initially, my thought was sad than peoples have to pick up these thrown away food to eat. Then, one day I picked up some melons they left in boxes on the ground, they were so sweet and so edible!

 People throw away too many foods which are edible, they might not look presentable, they might be overly ripened or have some defects, but as long as they are edible, it is a waste just to throw them away.

 Whether or not, due to poverty that these people pick them up and eat them, they are actually doing something good and intelligent. The sellers throw away these fruits and vegetables because it is more convenient and cost saving than to bring them back and store them, so why not just pick them up and consume them, most of them just need some cleaning and they are good to be eaten, and the overly ripened ones are the best.....

 I would continue to pick up throw away fruits at the market, but then one friend told me to just leave them for the people who need them more than me......
