Would you ever buy imperfect fruit and veg?
Your food bill is going up. The weekly shop can be eye-wateringly expensive. So would you like the opportunity to buy slightly wonky, mis-shapen, but entirely edible and nutritious food a bit cheaper?
Two years ago EU food regulations were relaxed, but most supermarkets still only stock a very limited range of grade two fruit and vegetables. They say you would not buy the ugly stuff. Is that true?
Anit-waste campaighner Tristram Stuart says 20 to 40% of fruit and vegetables are rejected, they do not even leave the farm?
Are supermarkets doing us a favour by rejecting so much produce?
One Kent vegetable farmer from Gravsesnd will not stock the supermarkets any more because he says they are unreasonably picky.
So who is the problem here, the supermarket or us?
Would anything persuade you to buy ugly fruit and vegetables?
Have you been a victim of anti social behaviour?
Problem neighbours, been under continual verbal abuse, boy racers in your street?
Kent police have given out 500 acceptable behaviour agreements. They make the offenders sign these agreements or face an ASBO. Will they work, or do they just drag the problem out even longer?
Do we take anti social behaviour seriously? Has it affected your life? Do ASBO's work? Perhaps someone in your family was given one and it changed their behaviour for good?
We hear your stories, views and opinions.
