Food Part Two

For a long long time I have refused to purchase tomatoes in the grocery store.  For the most part it was because they lacked any taste.  Today their are other reason I will not purchase tomatoes from a store especially if they are from Florida.  But that is a whole different story.

A few years back I added red and yellow delicious apples from the state of Washington.  Again they produce this large very good looking apple that has no taste.  If you do not believe me this fall taste a Wisconsin or Michigan apple and if you are traveling try one from up state New York.

This year I have added two more products.  Those great looking strawberries we find in the store.  Big, Red and very little taste.  And finally the "seedless" watermelon. They have taken the taste out just as they have taken the seeds out.  It is still possible to find a real mellon in this city if you want to drive for it but you no longer can find them in the stores.  

I can not believe that american farmers think that no seeds is more important than taste.  Well for me the taste is much more important.
