> The nutritional composition of today's vegetables in the average supermarket bare little resplendence to the variety of food consumed decades ago in the Mediterranean. I hate being that guy, but citation needed? Have you measured this (or can you share a study with us that has)? This is a bold claim and definite worth having reinforced. > Anyone who's compared tomato imported from the Netherlands (the worlds second largest exporter of tomato) to a tomato bought in a farmers market in Italy knows what I mean. I can attest to the difference in flavor between a fresh Mediterranean product and the basic supermarket version, but i can also attest to the flavor difference between a room temperature quality beer and an ice cold bottle of the cheapest crap imaginable on a beach.
