請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題 It’s the pride movement you probably haven’t heard of yet: a push for the acceptance and even the love of ugly fruit and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables come in every shape and size, of course, just like people do. But while we celebrate differences in people, we reject differences in our produce. We don’t like the half-launched lemon, the puny pear, or the bent banana. We may sense that Mother Nature is a gnarly lady, but we’ve never actually seen much of what she creates. It’s been hidden from us by federal standards and the aesthetic guidelines of major food sellers. A culture of food porn doesn’t help. We all seem to be eating with our eyes, not our mouths. But this is starting to change. Raley’s Supermarket in California became the first major American chain to sell gloriously grotesque produce. “You’ve got to think about what you’re not seeing in the grocery store, and that’s what we’re doing with Imperfect”, Ben Simon, the company’s co-founder said. He’s 25, not so ugly himself, and a canny businessperson. His passion is fueled by a recognition of the fact that Americans waste too much—food especially, and fruits and vegetables most of all. More than half the fruits and vegetables grown in this country never get eaten, according to an influential 2012 study by the National Resources Defense Council. Many are purchased but later tossed. But another large portion – about 20% – never even ends up in stores. And for a very superficial reason: they look bad. They don’t have bugs or disease or any other health related problem. They are simply ugly by the obsessive standards of modern America. Simon realized that this is a multi-faceted disaster for the environment. It’s a major loss of water, at least 25 gallons for every pound of uneaten fresh food. It’s a major contributor to landfills, where rotting food leeches methane—a greenhouse gas. Food waste contributes so much to global emissions that if it were a country it would rank third, behind only China and the U.S. Our obsession with pretty fruit and perfect vegetables is also a mockery of the millions of people who would like any kind of fruit and veggies but can’t afford them. Simon’s company addresses this problem too. Farmers used to leave ugly fruits and vegetables in the field to rot, knowing they would never sell. Those that partner with Imperfect, however, get about 70 percent of the normal market value. Simon then passes the difference to customers.

請你觀察文中提到這個詞之後的那句話：『We all seem to be eating with our eyes, not our mouths』。想像一下，當我們說一個人在用『眼睛』品嚐食物時，他最在意的是食物的哪一個特質？再結合文章開頭提到的『彎曲的香蕉』或『醜陋的檸檬』，作者認為現代人對食物的評判基準出了什麼問題？

- 語境推論：你看，在文章提到
food porn後面，是不是馬上就跟著說「我們似乎都是用眼睛在吃飯，而不是用嘴巴」？就像使用『透視眼鏡』一樣，清楚地看到了這個重要的線索呢！
