Sounds made up.

Also on account of fertilizers which are mainly petroleum based. Now days European countries have way better quality food – No GMO – and they taste unbelievably GOOD 😊 compared to American fruits and vegetables 🙁

Are we eating more all the time trying to find both ? I am in my 80’s and know what fruit & vegetables should taste like and miss that taste. At one time we grew a large garden but no longer. Most younger people have no idea what food should taste like. What a loss.
