Putting entire political-social-economic discussions aside, this argument relies on "Wonky Veg" being cheap from farm to market, which isn't always the case, and therefore do not work at scale in real world. Put simply, perfectly equal-sized and spherical tomatoes roll easier on conveyor belts, fit nicer and denser in cardboard boxes, slices evenly with machines, and therefore often cheaper to your table than odd shaped ones, at the same time being more lucrative to trade. Of course it feels wrong to grow crops only to crush some, I wholeheartedly agree, but this needs a bit more thoughts than trying to "just" save them.
