Eat tomatoes? 1 kg. (2.2 lbs) of hybrid tomato seed can retail for $450,000. How are these 'supermarket tomatoes' made? Asked another way, why are poor women and children across the world common field hands for seed production of 'uniform, improved' hybrid varieties of bad food?

Why do supermarket tomatoes lack taste and goodness? Soils aside, genes selected by plant breeders to greatly extend shelf life (by effectively blocking development of the fruit) consequently make for poor taste and massive declines in nutrient levels. facebook.com/groups/agrariansharingnetwork/permalink/3589131811335884/?mibextid=oMANbw
