It’s not a good idea to act as a perfectionist
Searching for the perfect-looking apples? Please, don’t do it… You’re contributing to food waste. The so-called “ugly” veggies and fruits are edible, too. Just because a certain fruit doesn’t have the perfect shape, size, or color, it doesn’t mean it’s not good (the same applies when it comes to people).
The demand for flawless veggies and fruits leads to tons of perfectly edible food items going to waste. In fact, Whole Foods and Walmart are trying to encourage people to buy “ugly” fruits and veggies by placing them at discounts, reducing food waste this way.
Next time you go shopping, remember that perfectly imperfect is better than perfect!
