We throw away almost 50% of the world's banana crop every year because if don't look a certain way they won't be bought in grocery stores.
If they produce, wash, pack, and ship bananas that won't sell, the banana farmers don't make money.
If they give away sub-par bananas, the demand for bananas that aren't free will plummet, the banana farmers don't make money.
If banana farmers don't make money from growing bananas, they will stop growing bananas.
No bananas for anyone.
So maybe that means that capitalism isn't the most efficient system for taking care of our food problems in the world.
