    You’re describing personal taste. None of what you’ve said establishes these vegetables as “shitty.”

    Your description of how seeds are managed at a genetic level by larger corporations is spot-on, however.

      Because they taste like shit? They’re also less nutritious too. The entire fucking point of food is to eat it, and we’ve developed varieties that taste bland, are unsatisfying, and are less nutritionally complex. We have un-fooded our food.

      Shitty flavour. Shitty nutrition. Shitty anti-trust profit practices.

      ‘Shitty’ is an adjective for value. Value is personal. Any answer for why somebody would value the food less and consider it shitty is the question you’re asking, and if you don’t like that answer, then your question is dishonest.

      You’re describing personal taste.

      If your takeaway from them is that veggies modified to ship, picked green and gassed to ripe is personal taste, you really haven’t a leg to stand on.

        He literally states: “I prefer.”

        Are you looking for an argument on his behalf?
