What's your evidence that GMO-free organic tastes better? Don't forget,
it doesn't matter if it tastes better to you. If you want to sell someone
else on the taste, it has to taste better to them.

There isn't any that proves that particular point. The difference is
that much organic is grown in small plots more local and is therefore
not picked green (or a least not nearly _as_ green) and so therefore has
more natural sugars and flavors for simply that reason.

It's a conundrum -- there's no way to produce food for 300 million all
in their own backyards for anything approaching affordable cost for most
-- just can't happen. Except in greenhouse, you're not growing a tomato
in Minnesota just now. Not everybody has a greenhouse. Hence, CA and
FL and AZ and all have to grow enough for almost all and that takes
varieties that can handle transport and shipping delay and all and still
at least be round and red when arrive. Sure you could grow 'em in
granny's garden and air express each one overnight but that's a little
pricey for most.
