That's not Japan being unique. The Anglosphere is a bit special, when it comes to fruit and vegetables in supermarkets. Go to Italy, China, France, any country

That's not Japan being unique. The Anglosphere is a bit special, when it comes to fruit and vegetables in supermarkets.
Go to Italy, China, France, any country with a reputation for good food, and you'll get plenty of good tomatoes.

- deciplex 11y agoMaybe this is partly why Americans have such poor diets? It's no good if healthy food is being deliberately made to taste like shit.
