In the U.S., no one especially shocking about the price large agricultural producers, who decide, for example, burying hundreds of tonnes of potatoes harvested from the back of the box, so rotten, than to put them on the market. When you run out in the shops these unfortunate potatoes, then they will increase prices and thereby increase the earnings of the producers of potatoes.
When dealing with such a practice knife in his pocket as he opens up, but in Europe, happen more interesting things. Here's to the British supermarkets will not accept the food, which does not correspond to the aesthetic standards. In 2008, a wholesaler and importer of kiwi in the UK was forced to discard five thousand pieces of fruit, because they do not meet aesthetic standards. Were about four millimeters lower than anticipated and is a European standard on the shelf in the store looked very rude, their view would discourage customers to purchase. The same is true with other food products - for example, carrots. European carrots must be simple, cannot have suckers or any. Similarly, from apples and other fruits. If something does not meet the standards, if, because it is difficult to say ugly round red apple, which is slightly smaller in diameter than the established bureaucrats from Brussels, if it is something like that - ends up in the trash. It could be a disqualified simply distribute food to the poor, but unfortunately this is prohibited by law. Distribution of food could affect their sales. Why buy when it is free - and the producers have thought the client would have suffered terribly at that. Food must be destroyed - then everyone will be satisfied. Client - because instead of the defective, the curve gets a carrot straight into the hands of the drawbar and no producer who has to earn its simple carrot more than the curve, because the curve does not reduce his price. The intermediaries and retailers do not even have to remember that. They also earn. In the U.S., and recently expired law that dictated the destruction of food and threatened with high fines for its giving to the needy. Now, however, apply where the Good Samaritan Act, which authorizes the ugly apples to share with others. Absurdities associated with crop production could still survive somehow, but it is a similar waste in fisheries. It turns out that more than half the fish caught in Europe goes back to the sea, because they do not meet European standards. Are too small or simply belong to the species, which by the Eurocrats is classified as inedible. Fish that have been taken from the sea through a network, hit the water again in bewilderment, damaged, and sometimes dead. Nobody worries about the fact that this biomass to accumulate on the bottom and it will rot, because in the end it is not a good fish, but for the good of the people.
