Yeah, it's actually a legit effort to reduce food waste.

I happen to be a fan of mutants. Sometimes they are harder to cut because of the shape. But I can live with that challenge.

One thing I actually liked was smaller-than-average onions I bought from him at the festival. When cooking for myself, it's easier to use a tiny onion, for example, than to have a half cut one in the fridge until I get to use that up. And who needs a giant cabbage? I can't use it all fast enough.
