Imagine buying strawberries and not eating them all right away
I love to eat a bowl of them for breakfast. But sometimes I have trouble waking up and don’t have time for them. Then I reach the weekend, looking forward to finally eating them… And half of them have spoiled. Damn it. I really wish they lasted longer.
Typical NA strawberries are GMO and suck though
Edit: didn’t realize how ignorant people are - GMO is also used to make food hard for long transportation purposes, resulting in tough food with very weak taste.
Find a better term than GMO to describe what makes food suck. You might as well be saying that science makes food suck. Like…yeah, sure, sometimes. But that’s incredibly vague and accomplishes nothing for you.
Nearly all produce is GMO and has been for centuries. Do you really want to go back to the days of 17th-century watermelon?
Pretty much everything g we eat is “GMO” because that’s how agriculture works, we selectively grow the most productive plants
No.
[GMOs are organisms whose genetic material has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/glossary/genetically-modified-organisms-gmo.html#:~:text=GMOs are organisms (apart from,mating and%2For natural recombination.)
This is true. I should have specified that geographically GMO is a bad thing here because it’s typically associated with creating hard tasteless produce that can survive long haul transportation
Genuine question, where are you from?
Where I’m from GMO is used to prevent ripening and damage during transportation which results in weak tasting and tough produce that can survive long distance transportation.
GMO has negative effects too, it’s ignorant to think otherwise.
Or just not GMO at all, it depends on what type of strawberries exist in the world already. I have noticed that the more “marketable” strawberries look, the less sweet and more acidic they taste, unlike strawberries that are grown by your grandma, which look like ass sometimes, but man, are they tasty! Can’t say about pesticides and stuff like that, or if they even are GMO, and also I live in Europe.
