Oranges and mandarins peeled and packed in plastic tray raise criticisms. In the US the big supermarket chains they back.

Having put up for sale peeled oranges, and packaged in some stores, the large supermarket chains in the US, they had to quickly backtrack removing the pre-peeled oranges packed in plastic containers, in the wake of criticism from environmentalists and many Internet users angry. The criticisms have rained on the web after Nathalie Gordon shared a photo of fruit in a supermarket chain Whole Foods in California on his Twitter page with the caption "just nature has found a way to cover these oranges, then we do not need wasting so much plastic on them. " For Giovanni D'Agata, president of the "Door of Rights", peel the fruit just to riconfezionarla in harmful plastic materials to the environment is pure madness and we become indignant if someone sells the already peeled orange wedges. Better to choose whole products to be sliced ??and once at home, joints, so as to be able to save from the economic point of view, gain a greater nutritional contribution with regard to the maintenance of good health through nutrition and can help reduce the amount of materials of waste products to be devoted to the collection of waste. A good reason to avoid as much as possible the purchase of vegetables and sliced ??and packaged fruit.
