[QUOTE="holwellcourtfarm, post: 7672226, member: 42914"] It's disingenuous to say the customer wants perfect produce. It's the supermarkets themselves who have "trained" the customer to that view. They have created the issue themselves. They love to use the line "we only sell what the customer wants" but, in reality, they offer a very carefully restricted range of produce quality and then make out that must be what the customer demands. For them to then decry the waste caused by them refusing "out of spec" produce and to put clauses in their contracts preventing that out of spec food being competetively retailed is a hypocritical abuse of their market power. Market share has alot to answer for in current food waste. [/QUOTE]
