Like I said: food in the US is designed for longevity, not for flavor or general quality. Organic stuff and local produce are not like that. They don't last as long. I for one can not eat lettuce that has been on the fridge for more than 3 days.

An organic head of lettuce easily lasts a week or more in the fridge. Anyway, the extent to which produce has been "designed" is greatly overstated. Two hundred years ago people used to store apples in barrels for weeks if not months.

I for one can not eat lettuce that has been on the fridge for more than 3 days. I'm not in the US, I buy organic and local produce at a farmers market. They usually last two weeks in the fridge. If they are lasting only three days for you, maybe you are buying produce that is already over a week old.
