this is actually very interesting though, and as usual, shows that capitalist ‘innovation’ usually means fucking everything up
I wonder though would it be much better how much better could it be under socialism? It probably wouldn't be so extreme but almost all the fruits you can buy at a store are bred for resilliance over all else (like flavor). Idk if this would be very avoidable unless farming itself was revolutionized.
honeycrisp are good, I just like the sourness and crunch of a granny smith over the sweetness of a honeycrisp .
the reason that capitalism does this is to try and infinitely expand. new strains to market to sell more apples, that's it, that's the entire idea. and so in this pursuit of infinite growth they act like short sighted idiots who run off the cliff edge. once you remove the profit motive, there is no reason to forcibly 'innovate' constantly, we should change agriculture for a large number of reasons, but in this case it's outside factors that influence agriculture that simply is not an issue when your primary focus goes from selling a good to providing food for people because they need food

granny smith have a great taste but are more often mealy than not in my experience. Honeycrip is one of the only breed of apple that is almost always crisp and it's also a good balance between sour and sweet

Is it just a problem of having too many types of apples that nobody needs or is that making them more vulnerable to diseases? I genuinely don't know much about how apple farms work at all.
nope honeycrisp is where it's at

I don't know why I didn't expect fruit varieties to be copyrighted :yea:

I think the big change under socialism would be having more free time to cultivate community gardens, where resilience would be less important
Pink Lady is the superior apple variety.
