If, as consumers, we can change our mindset so that we see gnarled, twisted, lumpy or otherwise imperfect produce as beautiful, we can create demand, change the system and ultimately help feed the world.

If shoppers looked at crooked carrots, misshapen potatoes, slightly dinged apples or too-small peaches and thought, wow, that looks delicious, imagine the benefits for struggling farmers.

If we could stop wasting food, imagine how many more people we could feed!

There's imperfect food out there that just needs a mouth to bite into it.

If we accept imperfect food, we can indeed change the world for the better.
