Automation is why every bag of spinach you buy today turns into green goo in three days and looks like it was punched in the face. I'd like to go back to human hands harvesting.
- onlyrealcuzzo 2y agoThe refrigerated shelf life of spinach is 10 days. How long do you think it takes to ship spinach from wherever it grows to every grocery store in the US? Not overnight. How long do think it sits on shelves before it sells? Not <1 day on average. This has much less to do with automation and more to do with spinach being available almost everywhere in the US at almost all times of the year. It is a modern miracle that you can buy fresh spinach in the dead of winter in North Dakota. Do you remember hearing stories of your grandma doing the same?
