Have to agree...I mean the fresh food people..what a load of trollop.

They cold store perishables for months in something like carbon dioxide gas to help slow rotting. They call this 'for your convenience"...which is code word for their profit.

Buy the time you get the food..they taste terrible and go off rapidly.

Yet we go back and buy more..well I don't nowdays. We get local fruit veggies delivered. Costs more but they taste better and they last longer. The etxra costs balance as we used to toss a lot of "supermarket fruit and vegies" beasue of early spoliage.
