Produce almost never gets sent to shops "as is" straight from the field - everything gets sorted into classes, 1st class, 2nd class, 3rd class etc......1st class should already be perfect and nice and even - that's usually what supermarkets buy. There might be an occassional "ugly" bunch of stuff that falls through, and I guess yes in that case it will probably be thrown out. And yes it's also a tragedy that a lot of food at supermarkets gets thrown out when unsold. But I'd bet that 99% of "ugly" produce never makes it to the shelves in the first place, it just gets turned into processed food.
