You are correct that over the past few decades, Brussels sprouts have been genetically selected to yield better tasting crops.
Cooking them at high heat (roasting, grilling, etc) breaks down the bitter chemicals. So, even the better ones nowadays would probably be meh if cooked at a lower temperature. I’m not curious enough to find out, thankyouverymuch! :)
It’s “interesting” that people accept that rabies, trichinosis, and other zoonotic diseases are naturally occurring, but any new cross-overs are suspicious. Even though we’re doing all sorts of things to the natural habitats of wild animals, forcing them closer together, and not practicing healthy domestic livestock practices, it’s still met with suspicion.
