ElM, it's not a matter of efficiency. It's a matter of inefficiency that we can't get tree-ripened fruit and fresh this, that, and the other. We used to get bananas which tasted like bananas and tomatoes which had flavour and apples which weren't cold-stored wax replicas. There is a lack of feedback on quality and price so the producers are making less profit and less sales than they would otherwise do. I eat few bananas now because they are so pathetic. Similarly, eggs are pathetic. They go for size and hen-laying capacity rather than quality. Food quality is appalling around the world, other than a few exceptions. Belgian beef is almost inedible. While living there, we got some Argentinian free range beef and it was fantastic! It was like being brought back to life from a mortuary. Jay has probably got a very good investment in Argentina. Unfortunately, it's not sold with the information attached. People just see generic meat or generic bananas and there's no way to tell whether the producers have heard of quality [other than buying a tiny amount and being once again disappointed]. There is usually not even any way of identifying the producers. It's as though the producer are ashamed of their products and try to hide. I think there is a huge business opportunity for good quality products. Which doesn't simply mean big and shiny. Flavour, nutrients, lack of pollutants, and other quality aspects are vital. Mqurice
