Free food tastes better
We all get munchy while grocery shopping, and most of us end up opening a bag of cookies during our shopping trip. This grocery store wanted to encourage its customers to munch on a fruit instead of other, unhealthy snacks. They knew the best (and perhaps the only) way to do so was offer them free fruits.
We don’t have high expectations from grocery stores, and we definitely don’t expect them to care about our health rather than their profits. This kind of initiative isn’t something you see every day, which is what makes it so special. This is a great idea, and a great way to encourage people to eat more fruit. After all, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
