This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Alternatively, instead of overloading on salt: for non-bland food:

  1. Get local in-season produce. E.G. Fresh tomatoes vs canned or long distance imports is a night and day difference. Also can be cheaper and you also know that the money is staying local, not feeding some rich fuck's investments.

  2. Mother. Fucking. GARLIC.

  3. Optionally, find a good chili oil.

Fwiw good quality canned tomatoes can be miles better than buying "fresh" tomatoes for the 8+ months of the year that they aren't actually in season (depending where you live in the world). Growers still grow them, but they're less sweet and less juicy. Canned tomatoes also break down way better for sauces. I agree with your overall point, and almost all of my fruit and veg come from farmers markets, but tomatoes generally don't for both cost and quality purposes.
