There’s a difference between a market and a significant market.

40% thrown away does not necessarily imply all others are better.

Normally imperfect produce goes to processing plants (juice, cans, pies etc.) but I’m not sure if there’s any significant market for banana chunks/puree.

If we expect to be remotely large, sorting by new only is infeasible.

And that is why electoral reform is important; so that splitting the vote is not penalised.
