为什么长得“不完美”的果蔬会被白白浪费？
专家估计，全球生产的近三分之一水果和蔬菜仅仅因为严苛的外观标准（cosmetic standards）而被白白浪费。各大超市和食品零售商通常只售卖尺寸、形状和色泽近乎完美的果蔬，轻微碰伤或畸形的农产品便无法上架。
在加利福尼亚州，果农 Chuck Baker 和创业企业家 Ron Clark 创办了名为 Imperfect 的创新企业，以极具吸引力的折扣将这些外表有瑕疵但口感鲜美的果蔬引入超市货架，掀起了一场打破食物外观偏见的绿色革命。

Context Paragraph:
Do you ever buy food based on how it looks? Many kinds of produce are judged on unrealistic standards of beauty. In fact, experts estimate that about a third of the planet’s fruits and vegetables goes to waste due to strict cosmetic standards. Supermarkets and other retailers often sell only produce that meets certain size, shape, and color specifications. Items that are seen as below grade—including ones that are slightly damaged or bruised—are rejected and do not make it onto the shelves.
