    I thought I was the only one who thought this, thanks for posting. I started noticing this when I stopped buying organic foods, especially vegetables.

    Some of us just want the old actual corn taste.

      ​@@musuyanguba4226I heard that bandana's tasted different in the 1970s but I like most people have only known the current banana. Modern agriculture is just a sea of monocrops.

    You should not interfere with natural foods like this.

      its not natural though, everything we grow has been selectively bred for thousands of years, we just need to be selecting for nutritional content over just sugar and longevity

      Modern fruits you grew up with, bear NO similarly to the originals that our ancestors ate. I'm 65 but modern apples and stone fruit are nothing like the ones I ate as a child.

      We've been changing things for thousands of years, lot's of the fruit we eat and have been eating for a long time can hardly be recognised when compared to the original.

    Some breed of Naval orange is one fruit that I found they often totally ruin it.
    I prefer vegetable that are a bit bitter, which most Asian ones are.

    Im really concerned these veggies and fruits are getting more sweeter actually sugar molcures from fruits are the same as sugar molcures from chocolate cakes...

      idk which sugars are in what or how many sugars there are.
      one thing i do know is sugarcane vs corn syrup is sucrose vs fructose type sugar, idk how which plants have which,but sucrose is healthier.

    • @PSA78

      Perfectly fine to consume in moderation, and fruit contain many other nutrients as well as fibre. Cake is usually loaded with fat.

    Cultivated fruits and vegetables are nothing like the wild ones but they are still best options ❤

    It has nothing to do with the growers.
    It’s the plant breeders. All fruits especially have become much sweeter since the 1970s. Food has become more homogeneous and less tasty, as selection has favoured uniformity and sweeteners and ability to travel.

    I didn’t get the part about why it matters.

    • @davidcole8268
      @davidcole8268 3 месяца назад +3

      It matters firstly because there is evidence that bitter compounds in the diet are beneficial for us. Secondly sweeter fruit and veg just habituate us even more to sugary foods. Thirdly, sweeter veg are more susceptible to pests (as they too like sweeter foods) thus requiring more pesticide use.
