My grocery store has plenty of fresh produce, what's different about it compared to a EU veggie?

American produce is a problem but I think only 1 percent of people know how to cook their own food. Instead they buy from restaurants and then are bewildered when their bank accounts are empty and they are fat and with bad skin.

Education in America is worse than growing up in the Bush.

> American produce is a problem

Besides our insistence on having everything even if it is out of season, which isn't really a problem with the produce itself, what is America's produce problem?

Not sure what the problem is but you can experience symptoms. Bad farming practices, poor soil are some of my guesses. How expensive things are that are grown locally.

Just because you cannot identify the problems doesn't mean they don't exist.

I like how this gets down voted by saying the obvious thing. Everyone for some reason thinks if you can't create a formula then you are wrong.

When did people become so incredibly un insightful?

There's lots of Americans especially those in poor/minority neighborhoods that don't have access to fresh produce. Look up "food deserts"
