Me too and have done since they were introduced. Funny how some people think that because they are not "perfect" that they must not be OK for consumption.

You'd be surprised by some of the comments from people seeing me buying them.

Sounds like some pretty ugly stuff, Stees. Ugh. You shop for groceries at Loblaws?

My father tapping the window and showing me a freshly pulled bunch of radishes.
That meant while he was washing them, I would butter the bread.

Yes. Just bought a bag of mis-shapen peppers at New World. Taste the same.

Else what happens to these veggies?
Sold dirt cheap to food processing companies for pies and pizzas.
We eat it eventually!

Basically it comes down to supermarkets being evil bastards. They were grown in the same farm as the others and are exactly the same.
