Ever wonder why food seems blander than it used to? It's not your imagination! For decades, industrial farming has prioritized size, perfect looks, shelf-life, and disease resistance in crops, often at the expense of what truly matters: taste and nutrients! For example, a 2020 study found today’s tomatoes have a shocking 50% less flavour compounds than 1950s varieties. Modern spinach can have half the iron it once did, and those vibrant orange carrots? Their ancient ancestors were often thin, purple, and far more potent! So, while your supermarket apple might last for months, it might also lack the zing of an heirloom variety.

Looks like our food got a glow-up... but lost its soul! It's perfectly pretty, but surprisingly pointless! 🍅🥦
