Default Why say 'no' to oddly shaped veg?

It's official: European diktats on the size and shape of fruit and vegetables are bananas.

Even the European Commission now wants them scrapped to avoid wasting good food in times of global shortage.

I have envied Europe for what seem to be very good consumer regulations regarding toys, clothes, etc, compared to what we have here, but this is ridiculous. You can't sell it for a lower price, you can't even give it away????
