Why is this troubling? You can always go apple picking at an orchard if you want the fresh stuff. If you've been eating the year-old apples all your life and were none the wiser, why is it a problem now? If the quality has held up, and they were produced under good practices, then it shouldn't matter how old they are.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch list will tell you when to eat which fish, and where they should be sourced from. They update the list regularly, and as best as I can tell are doing a stellar job:

Speaking of fish, I love when I see bycatch on the menu. I worked with a fishmonger turned chef in the past who pretty much put several species of fish on the local restaurant map thanks to his preaching of the gospel of bycatch. Everything I google about bycatch comes with stern warnings about how unethical this is, but it seems like a great way to waste less when fishing and guarantee freshness for buyers.
