I cringe at the mere thought. I don't have those problems. Then again,
I don't buy fruit or vegetables that are sold on a tray in shrink wrap
so that I can't see what the underside looks like.

If I'd gotten home with a package of tomatoes wrapped thusly and found
they were rotton or mushy or moldy on the side I couldn't see, I'd have
immediately taken them back to the store. At the very least I'd call
them on the phone to complain. Bitching about bad tomatoes here won't
fix her problem.
