“Europe Relaxes Rules on Sale of Ugly Fruits and Vegetables”

“Misshapen fruit and vegetables won a reprieve on Wednesday from the European Union as it scrapped rules banning overly curved, extra knobbly or oddly shaped produce from supermarket shelves.

As of July, when the changes go into force, these standards for the 26 products, as varied as peas and plums, will disappear. European shoppers will then be able to choose their produce whatever its appearance.”
This is such a first-world problem that I don’t even know what to do with myself. The quotes used in the whole article reek of ridiculousness.
