Right, make it political. Tomato's that are imported or out of season always suck. I only eat them if I am growing them myself like my indoor hydroponic system. Once they are out of season I don't buy them at all or get them on a burger/sandwich. Yes, even the ones from Mexico, they suck. We should be eating local-sourced and in-season for basically everything. It's fucking stupid to be able to buy tomato's in the middle of winter. Same with strawberries. They don't taste good and are often full of chemicals. Archive: https://archive.today/nTFQv From the post: >>Every summer, there is a brief window—call it August—when the produce is exquisite. The cherries are at their best, as are the peaches, plums, and nectarines. The watermelon is sweet. The eggplants are glossy. The corn is pristine. And the tomatoes! The tomatoes are unparalleled. There’s a reason tomatoes are synonymous with summer, staple of home gardens and farmers’ markets alike. Giant, honking beefsteaks and sprightly Sungolds are begging to be transformed into salads and gazpachos, tossed with pasta and sliced into sandwiches, or eaten raw by the fistful. Enjoy them while you can.
