We often hear the term "bad apple" and we think about a bad person influencing others, turning them into bad people themselves. But what about Good Apple? Good Apple Foods is located in Austin, Texas. This enterprise that sells organic, Austin-grown produce they happily deliver to locals is setting a good example and earning the name Good Apple. They sell boxes containing produce and other food items, and for every box they sell, they set aside a box that they will give to a neighbor in need. If a bad apple can turn a basket rotten, then this Good Apple can definitely influence others to be good citizens too, willing and ready to help those who do not have the means to pay for fresh and healthy food.
