Short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video about potato chips and natural variation in food. Speakers contrast manufactured uniformity (e.g., seed oils appearing identical) with more natural disuniformity in fruits/vegetables, and explain the creators’ avoidance of toxic potato storage methods (mentioning CIPC use) as a reason their chips may show natural changes.

I think the disuniformity brings us back to something that's more in its natural form. Avocados are not perfect when you cut them open. You know, one of the things I notice about seed oils, you go down the aisle and, like, they're all exactly the same color. Like, exactly. That's not how things occur in nature.
We have this, like with our potatoes, for example. They're stored well, but because we don't use toxic storage methods, there's this thing called CIPC. 85% of potatoes in the US are sprayed with CIPC, and it prevents the spores from sprouting. If you just, like, gas them with this toxic crap, like, yeah, you can prevent them from creating eyes, but we can't. We won't use that stuff. So, yeah, you can do things with temperature and humidity and keep them dark, but even still, they will change. And over time, some of the starch is turned into sugar in potatoes, and so that creates, like, brown spots and whatever stuff. But it's like, you want a potato chip that's not made with crap, that's what you're gonna get.
