It's all food, with maybe one exception, honeycrisp apples, but all sub variants of the honeycrisp are worse! In an effort to appeal to mass market, all food is being purposely made more bland. Then you gotta pay more for "high quality tasty food" it's disgusting. Food science is a mistake, return to grandma cross breeding heirlooms.

It's a result of breeding for shipping across the country and storage too. Heirloom tomatoes could never make it to a grocery store intact. And a demand to eat everything out of season.

I mean on one hand yes, on the other hand, I don't want to eat salted beef and dried pumpkins all winter like they did pre-refrigeration

Salted beef would be a luxury. More like salt cod - and I don't mean an angry gamer

well, cod's gone sadness-abysmal So dried pumpkin, cabbage, potatoes, pickled food, apples, beans, lentils, nuts, grain, and cheese it is

It doesn't have to be that way, but intensive/non-local and non-seasonal agriculture requires ecological degradation that is largely ignored. Not to mention the horrid working conditions the people spraying agrochemicals on food have to endure.

There's plenty of seasonal vegetables in winter, and tons of recipes from cultures that experience harsh winters, too. bean don't require refrigeration, be they canned or dried.
