You have some cultural beliefs about food being of special reverence which is not reflected in its utility and cost.

No, I have a accurate belief that food is one of the most fundamental and important resources for humans and the lack of it causes enormous suffering and long term harm.

		Where do you think I should send my bruised bananas to be eaten? The definition for the largest category is a subjective feeling of not being able to buy all food options you would buy. The narrow categories which have better defined criteria also include anyone with any administrative dysfunction which limits their ability to plan or navigate serivces.

The problems you have in this category are a bottomless pit.
