That's terrible! I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I imagine many Americans would have an experience like yours if they lived somewhere else with nutrient-rich food and came back to all the chemicals and GMOs. Our bodies are designed to reject this crap unless we become so "used to it" that it only manifests as cancer and chronic illness.
Hope I get to taste some Israeli produce someday. Sounds amazing! :)
Come on over anyday! One of my SOs has an avocado tree where she works and now is the season. I assure you - you've never tasted better. :)
One other thing: I've come across these in Europe and the US, but we don't have these here, and I am confused. What's with the gigantic single-wrapped plasticky-tasting cucumbers? You can't eat the peel! What is this?!
Also, lettuce and a ton of sauce is NOT a salad, you people. Not even if you decorate it with a tomato. Anything with less than 3 types of vegetables is NOT A SALAD, FFS!
Sorry, sitting here drinking my locally brewed apple cider and eating some organic goat cheese before bed, feeling terribly sorry for people who live on frozen foods, snacks and pretend your vegetables actually have some kind of nutritious value, and not only optimized shelf-life.
