<For instance I bought these little red onions (less than 1/2 the size of their traditional farmed mates) that packed the most flavor in an onion than I have ever remember tasting from a standard farmed onion, it was quite amazing the taste of it. Some of the fruit and veggies you see at Safeway and Fry's now are enormous and swollen, quite good looking, free of unappealing eyesores and soft spots etc., yet they seem to be quite bland and tasteless, go figure... >

I was quite surprised when I first moved to Europe [Germany, but I found the same in France and Italy] and to my surprise the fruit and vegetables were much more tasty and fragrant despite their looks... now granted you only get them "in season". We attempt to weight our diet heavily to 'in season' produce.

Here it's all "shelf life"... when you think of it the entire food industry has been creating additives, products, coatings, etc. for decades for the sole purpose of "shelf life" and profit without a thought of 'healthy'... that's just the hoop you jump through at the end to prove it's safe... which of course is impossible in any case in the short run.

<On the other hand I am 27 and have had cancer twice<ng>, >

Best of luck... and IMO you know best what to do short of invasive medicine.
