    If it’s GMO and still suck, they need to GMO harder.

      Or just not GMO at all, it depends on what type of strawberries exist in the world already. I have noticed that the more “marketable” strawberries look, the less sweet and more acidic they taste, unlike strawberries that are grown by your grandma, which look like ass sometimes, but man, are they tasty! Can’t say about pesticides and stuff like that, or if they even are GMO, and also I live in Europe.

        Come to Canada and eat any of our supermarket strawberries, they’re disgusting.

        One of my Italian tour guides last year was so confused when I explained how our produce is nothing like what they have there. Strawberries are sour, not juicy, and white inside.

        We do have some good local strawberries during the summer. This is why, to us, GMO is a bad thing

          I would dare to say that the Mediterranean has the best fresh produce in the world (not biased, I’m from the north).

      Genuine question, where are you from?

      Where I’m from GMO is used to prevent ripening and damage during transportation which results in weak tasting and tough produce that can survive long distance transportation.

      GMO has negative effects too, it’s ignorant to think otherwise.
