The European Union is mad: it's official, no 389,456,785,397
'Commission regulations for fruit and vegetables are extremely detailed, specifying their desired appearance, weight, size and other features.
For example, Regulation No 1292/81, laying down quality standards for leeks, aubergines and courgettes, states that for Class One leeks "the white part of the leek must represent at least one-third of the total length or half the sheathed part". For aubergines, "the difference between the smallest and largest aubergines in the same package must not exceed 20mm for elongated aubergines [and] 25mm for globus aubergines".'
