I don’t know if it’s because of me growing up and my tastes changing, but I could swear fruits from the grocery store when I was a kid were nowhere near as sweet as they are now. Some of the fruits I’ve eaten recently are genuinely sweeter than soda because the soda tastes bitter after eating the fruit.
Are they selectively breeding/GMOing fruits to produce more sugar? Is that bad? I feel like that’s a bad thing but don’t actually know.
This is my thought as well. Farms are just picking the sweetest ones and breeding those because they get better “yields” in terms of selling their fruit.
