I buy produce from a farmer's market and it is no where like the crap sold in grocery stores. Take a tomato from the grocery and place it on the window sill. Place one from my farmer's market next to it. The modified one never rots. The other one rots in a few days.

I use to be a produce manager in the 60's. Fresh produce today does not smell like produce, does not have the texture of produce and does not taste like produce. It has all been engineered to make more of a profit for producers.

Thankfully I can still get some good smelling and tasting produce at the farmer's market or until "science" takes that away too.

We usually bash corporations here but for some reason we like Monsanto for it''s "science."
