Woolworths, They Really ARN'T The 'Fresh Food People'

Woolworths claim to be the fresh food people? Well I can tell you for a fact, they arn't! We all have seen those ads on TV (If you live in Australia) about how much effort they go into picking their apples and oranges and getting them into the stores fresh within 24 hours so they can sell them to us freash...

..Well there is something they've forgot to mention. Their 'fresh food' is in fact stored in freezers for up to four months at a time! So just think about that next time you go down to your local Woolworths and decide to pick up a few 'fresh' apples. I should mention, Woolworths are not the only company that does this. Coles does this too. As does Aldi, although i've been told that Aldi don't keep their fruit and vegies out in the freezer for as long as Woolworths and Coles do.

I prefer to buy all my fruit and vegies from a local fruit and vege shop where you are guranteed that they haven't been near a freezer and you can be sure that they are actually fresh!
