The Secret Life of Vegetables
Once you have bitten into a real, homegrown tomato, nutured to maturity with nothing more sinister than sunshine and rain water... believe me, you will never ever look back.
It makes me wonder: at what point in time did Man get the twisted idea that it would be a good thing to produce tomatoes year-round with pesticides and other such chemical nasties?
Thereby depriving a whole generation of the sweet, succulent taste of the real thing, and fooling us into believing that the pale, hard, unnaturally spherical objects that masquerade as "tomatoes" in most supermarkets are in some way related to real vegetables??
Honestly, forget about the environment and health. Those are both great reasons to buy organic, of course, but if you're still not convinced: just buy it for the sheer taste.
I promise, you won't know what hit you.
