Question about that stat I saw on food waste

I read a study last week that said grocery stores toss like 40% of their produce just for being ugly. Can anyone confirm if places like Imperfect Foods actually make a dent in that number?

Yeah, "40% for being ugly" sounds about right from what I've seen.

Got a friend who actually tried online dating for a while, and man, she had some rough stories. She matched with this one guy who kept making jokes about her nose in every message (not in a cute way, more like a mean way). @the_keith, you're not wrong about the "40% for being ugly" thing, because she swore her matches got way better after she changed her profile pics to ones where she was angled more flatteringly. It's crazy how much people judge on looks first, even in a space where personality is supposed to matter just as much.
