Many people look at giant portions and see a bargain, but abnormally large fruits and vegetables are a terrible value. Especially since many fruits and vegetables are sold by weight, you're paying an inflated price for watered-down taste and nutrition:
- Plants give about the same amount of nutrition to each fruit or vegetable no matter its size, so supersizing just dilutes it
- By breeding for size over nutrition & taste, there's evidence conventional produce nutrition & taste has genetically declined over time
- Fruits and vegetables need time to soak up the sun & develop flavor, but they can be robbed of that by artificially accelerated growing processes
