SC - Evolution of food

[RichSCA at aol.com]

To you (really) believe that the high-yield produce that we get in the 
grocery stores today are just like they were before modern science "improved 
them".  i.e.  The huge red apples, oranges, carrots, beets, etc.  Do you 
think the flavor is just the same? 

Now my Uncle (before he died was in charge of the University of Arizona's 
Farm in Mesa, Arizona) he worked on improving various strains of stuff  
(mostly citrus) But I remember that he did have this THING for "ancient 
seeds" and grew stuff in his home garden.    

Rayne - just wondering (and, who will sometime this morning dig up that Food 
in Art book and look at the pictures again)

 In this matter I disagree.
