I don’t know, maybe I’m just getting older, but it seems like fruit and vegetables don’t have the flavor they used to have. Some have really thick peels, which aren’t easy to digest. Not sure if it has anything to do with the genetic engineering. Maybe it’s because of the storage. I’ve wondered if GM food is a contributing factor to nutritional deficiencies that we’re starting to see. You can’t trust the “data” anymore.
If you can, grow your own. I attended a couple of organic gardening classes last year and adopted some of their procedures. Some of what they were doing seemed counterintuitive, but made sense in what was being accomplished.
Basics are minimum/no tilling, good hydration, soil testing ensuring a broad spectrum of minerals/elements in the soil. They do this using rock dust(25-30 mineral/elements) and sea water(90-100 minerals/elements).
The vegetables were the best we have grown, the taste difference is dramatic from what one gets at the grocery store.
