Rejected petition Force supermarkets to take uneven and different sized vegetables to reduce waste

I think it is an absolute disgrace that supermarkets force farmers to throw away supposedly uneven vegetables because they do not meet an artificial 'standard'. This food is almost always perfect and should be made available to be bought. This will also help farmers who are struggling to survive.
