On the other hand, international trade and shipping are efficient enough now that you can do things like eat fresh asparagus in December. We didn't get a vote except buying the product.

makes you wonder what we could do if we wanted to feed people who are starving
breeding food for long journeys may explain the lack of flavor in a lot of food

Or like bananas, tomatoes and avocados, picked green and ripened either with gases or in the bin. Did you know that avocados that fall to the ground are considered unsaleable? Imo, they need a byproduct other than guacamole to use those up.
So much of our harvests go to waste because they don't look like the perfect example of the species grown.

we like pretty produce, screw the lack of taste... the best tomatoes I have had were ugly as hell
again, we don't raise veggies ourselves anymore so we believe we can have 'perfect' food. You raise it, you are more likely to look past the fact that the tomato is not symmetrical

I think that this is partially responsible for the whole "farm to table" movement. People who are accustomed to bland produce are amazed at the flavors in freshly harvested ingredients. The chef gets the credit, but the freshness of what they are eating is what really makes the difference.

Unlike the plastic boxed crap, Strawberries and blueberries straight off the vine are wonderful.

I have blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries growing. Had a decent crop last year for second year vines. Looking forward to more this summer. Tried strawberries, couldn't keep them.
