I think you're being a little bit generous and going soft on Pink Tomotoes. Once upon a time, we had red, ripe, tomatoes. Those were the "good old days." Now we have Pink Tomotoes sprayed with pesticide, herbicide, fungicide, and containing genes for other pesticides (in order to cut down on the cost of pesticides, of course.) These pink tomatoes are picked green and shipped hundreds of miles to market where they sit for a week awaiting sale. They have no taste because the tomatoes that have taste go bad in only 3 days and are totally unsuitable for the giant Food Machine that is American Agribusiness. Sidelight: Ever shop at a store caled "Food4less" ?? I call this store "FoodMachine". The food is packed so high you feel like you're in a warehouse. They only sell the most highly processed foods with the greatest amounts of pesticide and herbicide, at the lowest prices. The containers are so large I feel like I've been given a job as a warehouse worker. Oh well. Whenever I enter this store I feel like I am just a tiny expendible part in a gigantic agribusiness food machine where I play a role not unlike an ant in an ant colony. Anyway, back to pink Tomatoes. These tomatoes cause cancer and attention deficit disorders and grow botulism faster than other tomatoes which all stimulates the medical and psychological industries. Pink Tomatoes taste like nothing at all but we are paying the same price we paid 40 years ago for red ripe tomatoes, and we are quite frankly dying from antidonics - not benefitting from hedonics - if you ask me.

This is a very good point. Same with the OER. The theory is fine, but it is misused by the government statisticians.
