How do groceries get so much perfect food?

Sadly, people have learned to expect the standardized sizes, shapes, and colors. When presented with real food, they recoil in horror.

Take strawberries for example. People actually believe that what they sell in the grocery store is a strawberry. I can assure you that they are not. A real old fashioned strawberry, such as a hood or shuksan strawberry has a strong flavor and sweetness that goes far beyond what you could ever find in a clamshell in the grocery store.

But people have learned to expect their berries to be shipped across the planet, and to survive on their counter for a week. Flavor and nutrition doesn't matter, it just has to be pretty and last forever. This is impossible with a real strawberry.

Just for the annoying people who like fake fruit, I raise their fake strawberries. But I only eat and recommend the real ones.

Thank you

Like I mentioned before. I think they blend it half and half . Half reality to keep up the appearances and the other half made up and replicated and blended in, Just like a stage set.

I know some news events as well, straight from those that helped make it, that was CGI enchanced, Im sure GLPers know more than a few instances..

the meat is injected with hormones and placed under uv lighting to not show discoloration.

now what really gets me is what about the bad spoils, do they send in a truck and load it out for some compost landfill?

anyone have a clue as to what they do with damaged goods?

I've noticed this for years now.

Never rotting food that is totally tasteless and bland.

I first noticed it with tomatoes and now it has spread
to many other vegetables.

Food just doesn't taste at all like it used to.

Fake food....frankenstein food......Chemically generated food
lab created food.......all fit for the microwave to finish the chemical poison interaction with radiation.

no real nutrition and oh so perfect like those tomatoes.

It scares me to think of how terrible this alleged food is for our bodies.

I can't wait for the earth to be cleansed and the REAL

food returned along with pure water and clean air.

Better living through chemistry.

oh i almost forgot to add I purchased a loaf of off brand wheat grain bread, and i shit you not it was starting off in bacteria mold in just 72 hours time!~!!!!!

Hmmm. After about five days at most lettuce starts turning brown for me. Even apples, I threw one away the other day that started getting soft brown spots. It was a few days old.

maybe we are eating and digesting rotten moldy processed food?~~~??

here is what i'm talking about for example :

I noticed a gigantic pile of birthcakes and birthday pastries, None of them touched after an entire day, Probaly two bought out of fifty cause no one has money

The clearance shelf only had one cake on it and three loaves of bread.

Cmon ! If they really had clearances for near expiring items it would be shelf after shelf...They load up and stock way more than they sell.

I know a stock boy and a warehouse supplier worker would say their computerized stock system they try and narrow that count, but I dont see it.

I used to go to a day old bread shop. But I dont see em anymore in my city.

Deli they throw out tons of food a day, Deli worker told me
Went to a deli at closing, many deli salads werent even dented . It looked like a loss , no profit.

This due to the fact that farmers sell or give away their best fruit. When I give my best tomatoes to my friends they assume that I keep the best for myself, wrong. I take the ugly stuff and make salsas, spaghetti sauce or other stuff. Yet my friends think that I kept the best.

here is a good example, does anyone remember when you bit into a banana and you would see ring appon ring of seeds. with bananas out now, you would be lucky to so a seed.

did you also know that apples had an almost 90% extinction event in the past hundred years? i think there was original 20,000 + different types of apple trees, now i think theres somewhere around 500. it was on a documentary i watched.

the whole thing you are talking about though i had actualy thought about just yesterday when i was in the store, someone should do a study or estimate on say tomato's, how many growers there are and how much gets baught plus a guess for fast food/ restaruant use.

then you might be on to something.

in my oppinion, its made in a controlled environment, and it's artificial

Western North Carolina, the store is Ingles, and I am serious...I have had two tomatoes sit on my counter for 3 weeks and not even get soft. I have bananas I bought 2 weeks ago that only have a few black spots on them (before, they would be completely black after about a week) and compare them to bananas I bought a few days ago and they look just the same. I decided to throw the older bananas in my chicken yard. My chickens, who will eat ANYTHING, wouldn't touch them. That should tell you something.

I live on a farm and only buy produce from the store until mine are ready to harvest. I know how long a tomato should sit on a shelf before it rots and I'm telling you, this stuff from the stores does not seem real!

I see delivery trucks all night. I see semi's all day. I've been to the farms and I've been to the sort and process plants. It is amazing technology brought to you by your friendly neighborhood engineer -- not aliens.

Virginia, there is no matrix.

I'm sorry, farmerguy. That sucks. People have really become so selfish that they expect it of everyone around them. Keep doing what you're doing.

:propsyo:

if you ever worked on a professional AG plant/farm you WOULD NOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH FOOD GETS COMPOSTED/RECYCLED because it is not "perfect"

Did you know there are vision systems that can look at a cascading waterfall of rice , identify a defective grain, and blow it out of the process stream. It's that kind of sexy tech that gives you perfect food.

Bananas do look different now ! And about all tomatoes and odd tomatos and super tomatos and their distribution. that would make a good study.

I think they are gradually and slowly changing our DNA thru food.

We are what we eat. And whether replicated or lab created. (what if a lot of meat is already lab created?)

The food will turn us into some kind of mutants, Changes in our DNA.

My city is a ghost town then, Ive observed none of that activity at night at the level that would be required.

Grocery store tomatoes are gassed with ethylene so they turn green to red. That is why they "appear" to be ripe.
It is unatural to say the least.

:alienbacon:

man I don't know where your road trip was - but a LOT of the meat in our area might look good but stinks most of the time. Cabbage and lettuce is peeled down to look better as it rusts or rots away. Much of the produce is moldy.

Dude... check it out...

Apollo is right ! Remember, by rule, anything they tell the public is already decades outdated when it gets to us. They are secretly, always decades ahead beyond their little inkjet.

Wow OP, if you're this intense straight, I'd hate to be around you when you're tripping on mushrooms!

This existence is holographic. I'll give you that much but food being too pretty? Really?

They pick only the best (prettiest) fruits and vegetables then all the blemished ones are used for juices, can goods, sauces, pies, pastries, pet food, soups etc.

Did you really not think this one out?

As far as lasting longer, it's all the shit that's injected and/or being sprayed on them.

I go to a little local produce market and if I don't eat the stuff in 2 or 3 (the latest) it starts rotting. So I won't buy produce in the supermarkets. Hell, I hardly but anything there anymore. Too expensive and too scary.

You say there are not enough delivery trucks. If that is so how do all the restaurants and franchises like subway and grocery stores get the product? It has to be trucked in. The suggestion that there are not enough delivery trucks does not make sense. There would have to be enough delivery trucks to get the product to the stores or the stores would go out of business.

There are many food distribution centers, such as Sysco, Us Foods, and so on. Businesses such as Sysco have thousands of trucks delivering food all over the country. Sysco for example has many distribution centers all over the US, with trucks just waiting to be loaded with product being brought in from the over the road truck driver.

Wal-Mart has many distribution centers with trucks waiting to be loaded with product that is brought in by the OTR driver. The same is true for most grocery stores you go to, they all have distribution centers.

There is really no conspiracy here, what it is, is a lot of hard work that makes this all happen. The logistics alone to make this all happen is a huge amount of work and that's only a small part of it.

Also the food growing regions of our county is vast, we have plenty and I mean plenty of room to grow what we need to.

As far as the food looking good when it is at a store is due to improving tech. Such as the reefers the trucks are running do a very good job in keeping the product in great shape during transit.
