I'll take them. I love peaches.

Not these you don't. They taste like nothing and have shit texture.

You'd be surprised the peaches I'm willing to eat!

So why are they grown?

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Because they ship well and don't produce as much ethylene that causes ripening. Like tomatoes and every other fruit they were chosen for looks and not spoiling, rather than taste.
