Ahh, yeah. It's unfortunate that fruits and vegetables are being "exhausted" from overproduction, genetically modified, and filled with pesticides. After being in Mexico for a short while, I'm noticing a crazy difference between the produce in the US and here. It's almost all locally grown and you can tell the difference in size/shape/color/smell/etc. They're not always the "prettiest" but who cares! It's the taste and nutrients I'm after. ;)
