This is why tomatoes are a big reason for my vegetable garden. It's near impossible to get a good-tasting tomato in the store. The ones that taste really good either don't look good (marketing suicide) or can't make the thousand-mile journey through our food supply chain. Of course some people may still have an aversion to fresh tomatoes for other reasons. We're all wired slightly differently when it comes to food. As an aside, the article mentions brussel sprouts. They have a very different taste when they are fresh (usually if they are not sold on the stalk, they likely aren't fresh). I've suprised many people who told me they didn't like brussels sprouts then tasted fresh the ones I cooked. Same for peas. Growing up in France, we'd get peas that were harvested less than 4 hours before eating. Past that threshold, the sugar becomes starch and the taste changes significantly.
