It certainly is not anybody who is a buyer for a grocery store chain. Customers
will not buy veggies or fruit that fail to meet minimal aesthetic and
functional standards. Carrots must be straight and not overly gnarly; kiwis
must be slightly oval and of a certain weight; potatoes must be properly round
or elliptical, with no unsightly protuberances (sorry); overly- or underly-red
apples go straight to the landfill; pears must be recognizably pear-shaped. I
spare you a recitation of the even more demanding requirements for cuts of
beef, pork, lamb and chicken. (Vide recent Maclean's magazine for further
details.)
