that the food -- let's say zuccinni -- absorbs moisture --

Agree with you re cucumbers --

And, since I'm a Vegan I notice vegetables -- over last 15 years we have

growing problems --

More than 10 years ago, was obvious that potatoes for one were decaying must

faster -- often now I get potatoes with a lot of black spots inside of them!!

A few weeks ago, had to ask for credit on two russet potatoes I bought for a

soup which were almost totally black inside! (They were from King's)


Bought three tomatoes recently -- one large one was all green slime inside!!???

(They were from Delicious Orchards)

And what the hell is all that Yellow/Whitish HARD stuff inside tomatoes these days?

Thorwing away from half to 2/3rd of a tomato!! More often buying grape tomatoes.


And dislike this idea of WF's of packing vegetables so closely together --

the way foods/fruits/vegetables are being handled is a crime, imo!


Also bananas -- we have to get Dole and DelMonte out of the organic banana business --

anything they touch is destroyed -- but bananas are having a very tough time --

often very bruised -- much poorer quality over past 5 years or so.

And, heard a program the other day which said our bananas are "clones" -- !!!

Seems we get the worst of the bananas -- though don't know a lot about this -- but

many varieties we don't get here, evidently?
