I don&#x27;t blame the techniques, I blame how we&#x27;ve chosen to use them.<p>If we chose to use modern techniques to make tomatoes as delicious and nutricious as possible, I have no doubt we&#x27;d have some damn delicious and damn nutritious (both at once!) tomatoes.<p>But they wouldn&#x27;t ship or store well and wouldn&#x27;t have as high a yield, so they&#x27;d be more expensive, at least under the current production and distribution economy.<p>So we&#x27;ve chosen to use those modern techniques to make tomatoes that store well, ship well, have a high yield, taste like crap, and have fewer nutrients.
