One of the strange regulations in the US and in the EU is that vegetables (or veg as they apparently like to say in the UK) have to be pretty. If they aren’t pretty, they can’t be sold in store and are frequently thrown away.

Here’s a BBC story on the regs. The best part is the video embedded in the story.
