> the current food industry is a mess

Made worse by the Supermarkets, who still insist on "nicely shaped" produce and farmers then have to landfill the "ugly" produce. One UK Supermarket is proudly advertising its "Wonky Veg" initiative, but then the idiots are then wrapping them up in apparently non-recyclable plastic. These people are IDIOTS and do not represent me as a consumer.

The produce that's slightly better than inedible is used for soups, salsa, jam, ice cream, juice, smoothies, stock, etc.

The produce that is ugly is sold at the grocery stores for poor people.

The reason you only see tier 1/2 shape and flavor produce is because you're priviledged.

Ugly produce is a non-issue, eating meat is non-sustainable and oil companies are killing our planet.
