He goes around different markets and during week when he not at market he just parks the trailer in his yard and lets the stuff sit there. Gross. He'll come the following week and you can see the molds starting on the fruits.

At least they're alive and not chemivcally embalmed if they're able to grow mold

Reminds me of a pic I once saw of the Soviet Union: there was a truck loaded with cabbages on its way to the market. I'm sure they were all fresh and edible.. unlike many plastic-wrapped sterile vegetables in our stores today.
