What does apples have to do with ruining the world? Auto-tune I could see, but apples? Oh yeah, and the garbage too!
Not ALL apples taste great. Some are sour and unpleasant. But a LOT of them DO taste great.
I don’t understand why they still sell red delicious apples. They were one of the 3 apples available when I was young and they were awful.
There have always been thousands of apple varieties. You just need to go to the farmer’s market, or plant your own.
Well, we can’t let him off that easily:
“By the late 1990s, U.S. commercial orchards were growing fewer than 100 varieties of apples—and only 11 of them accounted for 90 percent of grocery store sales. Experts estimate that 11,000 Heritage varieties were extinct”

The old guy was right. I keep apologizing to my 30 year old and I feel terrible for my niece’s 4 year old.
When I worked on a fruit farm (ca 1958-1960), red delicious were still tasty. They have since been bred for size, shape and color, not taste.
