The tomatoes have a weirdly... Grainy texture.
And they're hard to break down.
Thank you Kanye, very cool!
I was cooking with some California tomatoes and they were strange, parts were so tough that after 2 hours of cooking they were still hard.
✊
then you are getting the garbage tomatoes
The quantity and consistency of the produce is to be praised, I guess.
Well, I got them in season, and they were from California...
I get amazing produce here in california
I found the flavour lacking, and the toughness strange.
best produce in the world
They certainly looked nice.
way better than anywhere else I
*i've been
That's debatable
I think a farm that breeds for flavour would be much better.
Those are rare though.
ok, not the literal best. just in general
Well that's just due to the climate.
The growing zone.
Strange how the breeding process often has such an effect on the flavour.
that's what I'm saying. America has great zones for farming
To bad you squander it with poisons.
I believe subsidies encourage bad distribution of resources though
Also lack of crop rotation.
too much corn
too much soy
Sometimes that's all that will grow
government guarantees them money no matter if they over produce
that means they have no incentive to be careful with the land
Well, sounds like their own decisions.
Not the fault of the Government.
might as well exploit it to the maximum amount to get as much out of the government as possible
That's a fault of the people.
it is in their self interest to do it
Yes
So it's greed, ultimately, that is the issue.
government has given them perverse incentives
Would you take the subsidies away and have the farmers just say it isn't worth it?
doesn't even have to be greed
