Summer Tomato

Have you ever tasted a summer tomato?  Ripe, red, juicy summer sun kissed goodness.  Umm there is nothing like it.  Not in winter, spring or fall only a summer tomato tastes as pure from the earth as soil itself.  You can just taste the golden sun and breeze dancing romantically with your taste buds.  Its saying yah this Earth is pretty bad ass, it can grow a summer tomato.  Only it can harvest the most decedent sugary berries and only it can grow the coveted summer tomato.  Whatever happened to keeping our fair Fruit and Veg pure because when we really taste something in its purest form why would we except anything less.  Everything else can progress but why does the energy we put into ourselves have to change, be altered or messed with?  I want my summer tomato year round  but its never the same.  My pico never tastes the same, my tomato sauce isn't right and I have ruined too many Caprese Salads.  So why make a second runner up tomato?  You know the flimsy tomato on your sad Subway sandwich, the one that looks light pink and almost see-threw? Ya thats the one.  Its like summer tomato's second cousin but yet we still think their eatable and ask for extra's.

Then there's the apple, only 4 TIMES ITS SIZE.  Sorry didn't mean to do cap's but my fat apple was weighing my hand down.  Clunk Clunk, just dropped it on the floor.  This can't be right, no one can think this is right..But yet we eat all of it, all 4 servings of it.  Have you ever compared a store bought strawberry to one straight from the berry patch?  I did it this summer and let me tell you my Driscoll's looked like it had 2 heads and an ass.  But we think it's ok and continue to buy them.  I mean overtime it goes to show that "things" progress but why alter nature, its already perfect.

We mess with seeds already evolved past perfection.  We think it's ours to mess with, like an experiment.  We are the 5 year old with a magnifier and the seed is the ant and here come's some light.  I know its human nature to evolve but I think somethings should remain sacred, coveted or better yet protected.

Why do we conform to this,? Why do we say this is going to work for us? When obesity rates are at its high we collectedly still buy the produce we know isn't real.  Farmers markets could be our grocery store and our summer tomato would be ripe and juicy instead of limp and see-threw.

Just sayen..
