Tomatoes are a climacteric fruit, meaning they have a ripening period after which they start to decompose. Mass-produced climacteric fruits are picked underripe to ensure stability during transport. The flavours that make garden-fresh tomat

I would argue it’s not a bandaid solution if it gives individuals an opportunity to pull back the curtain and experience themselves in a state of moderated consumption.

In a similar vein, I’ve heard an old priest say that if you start seeing a supernatural phenomenon, including the second coming of Jesus, don’t stick around.
