Not all fruit and vegetables are "ugly" per sae, but when you see the real deal compared to what looks all waxed and shiny and botoxed and mutated gigantically, well, my initial reaction at least was, "I don't want to eat that."
I've said this before and I'll say it again, but people in 'modern industrialized society' in the states have gotten very removed from their food, where it comes from, etc.

Absolutely! And same here in Oz. It's amazing when you have real food that ya know, tastes like real food should, it may look unappealing but it tastes so much better. Thing is supermarkets are so convenient and they know people buy on aesthetics so if they make it look good people will spend $$ regardless of the lack of nutrition, seems people think it's still there by default.
