EVIL TOMATO PEOPLE

sometimes roma tomatoes are ok if you buy a few and let them sit on the windowsill a while

but if you need them for a salad tonight, you're fucked, my friend

OUT TO GET YOU

what i do is wait until my neighbor's garden is looking all healthy and the tomatoes are heavy on the vine. then i weasel out with a load of compost and ingratiate myself.

in the end it all comes down to economics, doesn't it? I mean the tomato people don't want to eat a bunch of rotten produce so they breed them to last longer, and they refrigerate them (which is always bad for these delicate fruits), or they zap them with radiation or some shit (saw that on 60 minutes years ago) and because the true produce connoisseur is such a rare beast in these parts (or else they're all getting suckered by the wild oats health mongrels) everyone buys them with their frequent shopper cards and then the store reorders them, and so the tomato barons are vindicated in passing along a shoddy product to the consumer. sorta like microsoft.
meanwhile... the old tasty breeds are dying out because they don't hold up as well to the brutality of the transient vegetable life.
it's all very tragic if you ask me.
