If it's something that helps out the local farmer then I'm all for it--I'm just not sure if it's practical? I believe I sit firmly on the fence for this one!

It would be interesting to see how or if it would take off. I used to work at a place that had "coffee trucks" cater lunch and/or coffee breaks. I asked one of the fellows to carry apples and oranges once in a while for a change. They did and they didn't sell. At the end of the week they took them off the truck and threw them away. I felt really bad that I caused them to lose part of their profits. What a cool idea! It would be interesting to see how or if it would take off.

This is what is needed to take that sigma off of the vending industry. You can get a good product from a machine. I would love to have a nice fresh piece of produce from a vending machine.

I might even be motivated to choose the crudite over the Cheetos! ;) If I knew the stuff was fresh, sure, why not? I might even be motivated to choose the crudite over the Cheetos! ;)

Seriously, they fresh pizza and pasta while you stood there. Didn't appeal. I must say, I love produce of any kind, but just as I have trouble buying it underground in places like the Boston subway system, it might take me a little while to get used to buying peaches from a machine. It's better than beef jerky, though. This is so much better than the trend I read about a while back about pizza and pasta vending machines.

As long as the produce was replaced frequently enough I think this would be a welcomed change. Imagine being able to buy an apple or pear instead of being forced to choose between sweet junk food and salty junk food? Hope this takes off. Fascinating idea.
