That’s exactly what I did. I chose not to look, or participate in any way.

How will the market get nice goods to sell if those with something to offer refuse to provide it.
See, I think your analogy is slightly off. It’s not that the other veggies weren’t up to standard, it’s that they were rotten, decaying, producing a god-awful smell and drawing flies, contaminating much of the surrounding area. We complained to the market’s organizers, but this wasn’t a case of inaction or negligence. The organizers welcomed the sellers of spoiled goods, changing the rules to encourage their presence. One can only fight so long. After a while you realize it’s simply not worth your effort, so you take your wares elsewhere, and leave the trash to fester where it can’t effect you.
That’s what I and others, such as Shannon, have done.
