That and buyers preferring “pretty”/consistent produce, which means supermarkets only want to buy produce to spec because the other stuff won’t sell as well, shelf space is limited and it costs the supermarket more to waste unsold food than to just not buy food unlikely to sell. There are online markets out there that sell “ugly” produce that’s not to spec, but they aren’t broadly popular enough to make a huge dent in waste.
actually you know what … i would probably buy food that looks funny simply for the giggles in it … i’m kinda bored of normativity; “designers” (advertisement people) invent useless garbage new patterns all the time to “mix it up and keep it entertaining” … why not just use non-conformous food that naturally grows that way anyways?
