[QUOTE="TheTallGuy, post: 7672151, member: 9121"] Playing devil's advocate - the reason that supermarkets want "perfect" veg is because customers want that. Some supermarkets have made a big thing of having wonky/imperfect veg at a lower price & yet a large majority of customers will still only buy the in grade stuff, watch how folk root through the loose veg to get at the best looking bits, watch folk selecting bananas - they want them all the same size & without a blemish. The same goes for cuts of meat - watch how folk paw through the available joints or bits of steak for the lowest fat content & pinkest look, ironically the most tasteless pieces, but at least it looks good. If they can't find the quality they want in Tesco, they'll go down the road to the competition. Obviously a lot of blame falls at the feet of the supermarkets for how they operated in the past, particularly in the 80s & 90s, but at least Tesco are trying to do something about it & have been doing so for some time now.
