Why Do We Toss Odd-Looking Food? Can a Bite Change Our Mind?
Giving consumers a quick taste of oddly shaped vegetables can increase their willingness to buy them. There is a gap between what consumers see as ideal vegetable sizes and retailer standards, showing that consumer biases may differ from store expectations. The study suggests that taste-testing could positively influence consumer views on “imperfect” produce, helping to reduce food waste. Simple solutions, like tasting stations or campaigns promoting that “size and shape don’t matter,” could encourage shoppers to choose these items. Such actions would support sustainability by reducing waste and aligning produce offerings with consumer preferences.

Separating Fact from Fiction: Generative AI in Pharma
Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence capable of creating new content, including text, videos, images, and audio. By learning patterns and structures from existing data, it can generate novel content that is similar but not identical.
This technology presents a significant opportunity for pharmaceutical companies to address their unique challenges. It is estimated that generative AI could contribute between $60 billion and $110 billion annually to the economic value of the pharmaceutical industry. This potential impact spans various areas, including commercial operations, research and development (R&D), drug discovery, and clinical development.
Given the recent surge of interest in generative AI, it’s essential to differentiate between its actual capabilities within the pharmaceutical industry and the hype surrounding it.
