I really hate the fact that nothing is really bred for flavor and nutrition; it's all bred to be immune to insects, machine harvested and shipped. I mean, if bugs can't eat it, why am I? Everything that's a "superfruit" is just a fruit that hasn't been bred away from nature. Nothing in the store is really sustainable either; everything is sterile or is an extreme heterozygote. It's mindboggling to see what is available in the store verses what's available if you grow it yourself.
It wouldn't be as bad if everything wasn't so damn processed and full of salt/sugar etc.
You know where xanthan gum comes from? The plant bacteria that causes blackroot.
