I watched a documentary that covered a lot of these current issues and I was surprised how much food is thrown away simply because it doesn't meet someone's visual standards. Even a strawberry farmer was throwing away close to 50% of their produce because they knew the grocers would not accept them if they looked even a little deformed.

Someone stepped in and created an initiative that encouraged the farmers to still send the "ugly" food to the grocers where they were sold at a major discount to buyers who didn't mind.
