Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A lot of agricultural products have been designed for being useful for a wide range of processed foods rather than for direct consumption by the public. Or they have been designed for shelf life and appearance rather than taste or nutrition. Examples:

  • Jalapenos that aren't spicy.

  • Watery tomatoes.

  • Orange juice concentrate.

  • Corn for corn syrup.

  • Old garlic / topped garlic.

  • A near complete absence of fresh herbs but a huge amount of dried.

  • Worse limes (key limes are way better but the ones crossed with lemons are ubiquitous because they have better shelf life).

  • An absence of seasonal produce in general, replaced by year-round bland stuff.

And all the dried herbs are filled with lead and pesticides
