Yes and I remember when ripe bananas didn't have that unripened Persimmon effect on my taste buds too. And you point is what? We can produce unripe tasting food? I remember mom me hands off the bananas I'm going to make banana pudding. In taste an over ripened banana of my youth beat what is called ripe today. Fruit like Oranges was seasonal BUT the Oranges & Tangerines we got usually for a 3-4 month period were juicy and not dried up. Grapes? Nothing beat a Concord. Now it's grapes from Chile never ripe and $3 a pound. Tomatoes were juicy even the greenhouse ones. I can't remember the last time I bought a firm, ripe, juicy Turnip. I gave up.
I know you're next reply. Grow your own. Well it seems one company who specializes in seeds has sewn up the market LOL so to speak and you take their hybrids or nothing. Oh and they are literally trying to claim ownership of all seeds due to cross pollination. Yeah some ethics and what a real corporate friend huh?
The U.S. may well face a food shortage. Rather than make the best use of farm land to feed people and put back for possible strategic catastrophic reserves we are instead as taxpayers subsidizing an insane corn growing program for corn to be grown to use as fuel. Gee I wonder what companies are pushing that one.
Our healthcare system has nothing to do with this thread BTW. I'll ping you to a remedy I posted on another thread about that issue though.
Go live in your perfect world. Idealism is for liberals. Conservatives should understand history and the big pictures.
YOU have choices, WHAT ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT? Go buy organic if you want that as your choice and leave the rest of us our choices. I reather like cheap food.
I repeat to you we have the best food system in the world and history. Read that slowly and let your lips move if that helps.
And if you can’t understand my reference to the healthcare system, again, let your lips more as you read it.
