Whole Foods Sparks Outrage With Pre-Peeled Oranges
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Whole Foods is doing some major back-pedaling after irking customers with pre-peeled oranges.
According to CBS Sacramento, the internet outrage began after a woman named Nathalie Gordon posted a picture of the peeled oranges in plastic containers with a sarcastic message: "If only nature would find a way to cover these oranges so we didn't need to waste so much plastic on them."
