Supermarkets won't sell veg that doesn't look right cheaply because people would buy that rather than the more expensive perfect carrot or whatever.

i think you could, for instance, feed fresh apples to pigs but once those apples are mashed up with other fruit and veg and some loaves of bread and some bits of meat which are boiled up then it becomes "swill" which as i've said i think is now banned. some supermarkets (Waitrose for one) said they were going to start stocking odd shaped fruit and veg-but it hasnt filtered down to this neck of the woods. sister in law used to live in Londonistan and she remarked how cheap the food is there compared to Devon-and we live in the middle of farming country..dosent make sense.
