These regulations are descriptive. They exist so that there is a law somewhere that describes what a cucumber is.

Sidenote, this whole exchange is .. urgh. People criticizing things they haven't spent a minute to try to understand :/

Imagine if I came up to your monitor and started looking at individual lines of your code, and then I see an "x = 0", and I start criticizing it in a vacuum, completely cluelessly, as someone who has never coded before?

Or maybe I have indeed worked on fields and packaging when I was younger and travelling and witnessed the throwing away of perfectly fine food, that just did not met some arbitary size regulations?

But I agree to that. I am not really here to discuss the sense of defining cucumber sizes. If you are into that, have fun with it.
