At any market, it's common to see vendors carefully choosing produce that is good enough to sell. Everyone wants the best of what is _(1)_. However, when does worrying about the appearance of food go too far? For one woman in the UK, the answer is clear—when it makes us wasteful. Laura Sandys has a big idea that could change the way we look at food and ourselves. She wants to start selling food that would _(2)_ be considered too ugly to be sold in stores. An example would be an apple that is not uniformly red. Sandys criticizes the current produce rules _(3)_ by the European Union for encouraging wastefulness. A two-tone apple and a one-tone apple taste exactly the same. Therefore, why should one be suitable for purchase in the marketplace and _(4)_ only for juice? Sandys believes that by selling the ugly items, the general price of food in the UK will be kept down. It will also help the country lower its need to _(5)_ produce.Ideally, Sandys would like to include other food groups in her ugly mission. Fish like pollack are less popular, and _(6)_ are certain cuts of meat and organs likekidneys. Sandys _(7)_ that these types are just as valuable and delicious. The problem is that the method of cooking them has been lost. All in all, what Sandys really wants the UK and the world to understand is that we must start valuing all of our resources, or we'll suffer the consequences. 1.
