It is a great idea in principle but should also be open to students as well.

Nice to see food that would otherwise be wasted put to good use. Not sure why it wouldn't be open to everyone though.

They would undermine the demand for non-tarnished product

Given how many people are on some kind of welfare I should think this would do that as well? Besides which, it's not like the supermarkets are churning out an inexhaustible supply of this kind of produce, there must be a finite amount of the stuff that they can either shift on at a discount or send out to trash. Sell what you have at the reduced price, then once it's gone, folks will have to go with the regular priced stuff.
