    Those are the absolute worst apples. They’ve been selecvtively bred for storage and appearance vs. flavor and texture. Buying the most horrible, mainstream variety is what I’d expect from a conservative community mod. Maybe get a different kind? Pretty much anything… gala, fuji, cosmic crisp, envy.

      It’s what my girlfriend buys and she’s a democrat.

      I don’t buy apples. I buy nectarines, kiwi, bananas and anything other than apples

        Sounds reasonable. Apples are pretty basic fruit. I’d rather eat peppers and a tomato as far as fruit goes.

          I hate most store bought tomatoes. They lack flavor. A good heirloom tomato is such a treat
