Ugly Vegetables

VS

Could you eat ugly vegetables or are you so acclimated to eating the biggest, most perfect looking veggies? BBC recently talked about some excessive restrictions on vegetable appearance that is creating a stir in Europe. I'm very proud of this article because it uses the term "wonky" in its title and that is deliciously British. I do like deliciously British things.

There are only beautiful people on TV, so why can't we only eat beautiful veggies? There are children's books about ugly vegetables to teach diversity lessons. There are even ugly veggie competitions.

This is such a good chance to go into a moral rant that I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader. Just try not to think about your prejudices against 3 pronged carrots and curved cucumbers and how that makes you a heartless person as they are sent off to the juicer instead of your salad plate.
