To be fair, so is all of our fruit these days. Just through a couple thousand years of selective breeding.
- jyounker 5y agoOur fruit is tested for many things other than simply, "can we get you to eat more of this." One of the most common being, "does is stay shiny while we ship it," as opposed to, "does this taste good?"
- azdle 5y agoI don't disagree. But much like the sugary (or "sugary") treats I'd say it's one of the highest priorities.
- manachar 5y agoAt this point, most of our fruit is much more recent vintage than a few thousand years. Strawberries, as we know them, only came into being in the 18th century. Also, fruit is being actively manipulated to fit consumer's tastes and producer's profitability. The Honeycrisp apple is one of the biggest recent success stories.
