Food safety needs to be protected, but why do we need regulations
on classifying bananas based on size, appearance, lack of
malformations, damage, etc.? People will either buy them or not,
so the market will dictate price based upon quality without
specific regulation.

I'd rather buy a pack of anything knowing what I'm getting. Ie,
class 1,2 or 3 etc. Rather than discover at home that it is a
mixture of all three.

I guess that those who argue against the need for standards for
bananas are probably the sort of people who don't ever buy any.

More likely never do the shopping themselves. But still, of course,
have an opinion about it.

Or it could be the exact opposite, where you want all products to be
uniform. eg. The sort that only buy large eggs, forgetting that other
size eggs are laid too, but they want their one simple size for all.

Why would you not want to pay by weight etc for fresh produce?

Are eggs fresh produce ?


I'm sure some would be pleased to have rotten eggs on offer, though.

Yes handy as it's coming up to canvasing time for the GE :-)

How would you tell a rotten egg from a fresh one ?


Do you know how an egg becomes not fresh anymore or at what point you wouldn't eat it.

I;ve been running a test where I have left an egg in a kitchen cupboard for coming up to 2 years now and have been recording it's weight.
Did the same and left one in the fridge which I started 3 months later unfortunantly.
