It’s all food, with maybe one exception, honeycrisp apples, but all sub variants of the honeycrisp are worse! In an effort to appeal to mass market, all food is being purposely made more bland. Then you gotta pay more for “high quality tasty food” it’s disgusting. Food science is a mistake, return to grandma cross breeding heirlooms.
It’s a result of breeding for shipping across the country and storage too. Heirloom tomatoes could never make it to a grocery store intact. And a demand to eat everything out of season.
It doesn’t have to be that way, but intensive/non-local and non-seasonal agriculture requires ecological degradation that is largely ignored. Not to mention the horrid working conditions the people spraying agrochemicals on food have to endure.
There’s plenty of seasonal vegetables in winter, and tons of recipes from cultures that experience harsh winters, too. don’t require refrigeration, be they canned or dried.
food science is a broad subject. it includes all kinds of objectively good things like the addition of iodine, folates and other nutrients to food. also it includes sanitation and quality control which are more required under capitalism.
people talking shit about science in food are advocating for sawdust in bread, spoiled milk and lead just about fucking everywhere.

I mean on one hand yes, on the other hand, I don’t want to eat salted beef and dried pumpkins all winter like they did pre-refrigeration
Salted beef would be a luxury. More like salt cod - and I don’t mean an angry gamer
well, cod’s gone
So dried pumpkin, cabbage, potatoes, pickled food, apples, beans, lentils, nuts, grain, and cheese it is

Include intensive, industrialized agriculture in there, too. The green revolution was a mistake.
Eradicating the Red “Delicious” apple is praxis.
Patented fruit and vegetable varieties must all go. Only collectively owned heirloom seeds in my communist utopia
What’s up with honeycrisps? I haven’t had the money for them in years but they used to be my favorite
