Ben, if you've eaten certain organic foods there's a good chance before they were prepared that they looked like this.
Veggies look funny when you garden them yourself. I've had peppers that looked flat out, not like peppers, but tasted about the best a bell pepper could ever taste. If you use seeds that have come from your plants, chances are you will have more funny looking veggies the next crop! This is entirely normal.
Like I said, the only thing I wouldn't eat are the fuzzy, ugly strawberries. Aside from that, most of those veggies are probably delicious.
Fasciation can be caused by a mutation in the meristematic cells, bacterial infection, mite or insect attack, or chemical or mechanical damage. Some plants may inherit the trait.
