Why the Red Delicious No Longer Is
Decades of Makeovers Alter Apple to Its Core
I never liked the Red Delicious apples, or the yellow. They were always so mealy in texture, besides the flavorless issue. Nothing like going to an apple orchard in October and biting into a Mac you've just picked from a tree.
Other foods ruined by the quest for long life and profit are tomatoes, which are not meant to be light pink, flavorless, or cardboard; and cucumbers with wax on the outside, ewwww.
Plus, another grocery store irritant, PLEASE STOP misting the lettuce and herbs. They aren't meant to be wet all the time, and they rot when I get them home. Fine, fine, mist the peppers and the broccoli if you must, but put the leafy greens in a non-misting area of the produce department. They end up all waterlogged. Do you find yourself whipping your bunch of parsley around before you bag it, just to get the water off? Or is it just me?
