Mr. Wiggles has no shame

True.
HOWEVER, in the end tariffs are always ultimately paid by the consumer. That's how capitalism works. Meaning everything in Walmart will cost more, but that money goes to the government.
Here's what it comes down to: Trump says he'll levy tariffs on imported goods. Essentially, he'll cut taxes on the rich and make up for it by imposing a de facto tax on the poor and middle class.

So there is basically no business pressure to have crops be nutritious.

in reply to linkhidalgogato • • •But it does boil down to business pressures. The business prefers more and bigger produce to more nutritional produce.
Is that a bad thing? Maybe not. Maybe you can just eat more to get your nutrition since higher yield should reduce cost.
But the point still stands that there is very little business pressure to make a nutritious product.

in reply to Jayjader • • •Even then how you you know? I don't think anyone can reliably look at a vegetable and tell you how nutritious it is. I don't think it is reasonable to have the general population being experts in evaluating vegetables.
I think what could work here is mandated labeling. This is required for most foods but generally not produce. I think there are some reasonable reasons for this, but for farms producing huge volumes it seems that occasional testing that gets reported at the store would make sense.

They got to do everything they can to prevent them from having to pay back those social security loans they took out and never paid back.

in reply to AlecSadler • • •Many vegetables today are either sweeter than their predecessors or less flavorful or both.
Corn, for instance, grows so fast under modern fertilizers that the internal cells split during the growth process.
Their stalks are weaker but their yield has more than doubled since the 80s.
If you want to learn more about that, I can highly recommend the book The omnivore's dilemma. It's fascinating how modern agriculture is so completely divorced from what most people think it is.
