- incelmods 6y agoit's not a waste of the veggie, however it's not like a huge amount of different resources were not spent from the time the plant sprouted to the time it was determined "compost this ugly thing." as an far down the line example - we hate DRM being misused, and by composting ugly fruit you are supporting DRM. if you have 1000 acres of crops, you'll need to fix your tractor 10 times (number out of my ass). if you sell a higher% of the food you grow, you now need 700 acres. You now need to repair the tractor 7 times. John Deere now gets 30% less money, and that 30% spent on DRM was the waste. there are other things. like the time of the guy who has to look at the fruit, which there are less of now. he's in the sun, he gets thirsty, drinks water. if he has to be out in the sun 30% more to look through 30% more fruit, he drinks more water. and that's a waste of water.
