[@erawanpencil]

I don't know anyone who eats just straight apples, let alone knows the fine details of the different cultivars or whatever lol. I'd be really worried that this is a dying industry since my guess is it's only older people or maybe school cafeterias. Apples cut up the mouth, get stuck in teeth, and are loaded with sugar... if I wanted a healthy option I'd gnaw on a head of broccoli. Juicing and pie apples are probably the future.

[@vixiera]

[@johndoh5182]

Envy apples pretty much replace every other apple if you want a skin that doesn't add bitterness and is easy to eat and the meat of the apple is sweet and tasty. My wife won't eat anything else. Cosmic Crisp are OK. The problem with Red Delicious is decisions that were made by grocery chains where they wanted the apple to have a longer shelf life which required a thicker skin, and the world of big ag. gave it to them, and now most people won't touch them because there are much better options. You don't get it both ways. The best sweet corn doesn't have a long shelf life, and you only get it for about 3 weeks in the places that grow it, Silver Queen. That's the rub. If fruit or veg has a bit of sugar AND isn't hard as a rock, it's not going to last. You have to enjoy it while it's in season.

​@@friedrice2912 you and everyone else has already been eating genetically altered food for thousands of years. The grain and wheat we consume is not naturally occurring. It developed over time as we picked out the portions of crops that were undesirable and resowed crops that had properties we wanted. Over time this caused the mixing of generic traits specifically from the plants we cultivated and eliminated the others. And we already find completely natural foods to be incompatible with our current taste buds. Natural apples are not big and sweet. They are small and bitter. Any varieties you find to be otherwise have been bred and refined for a long time to develop those traits, changing them from the original.

In the past 15 years or so I went from buying big apples to small crisp apples. I love the smaller apples.

[@Yostuba]

Any larger fruit is trash complete trash only grown because its GMO&patented. A plant will grow the same amount or even less but because they are so large its anywhere from 2-4X the weight per tree. These fruit are mostly water fiber/filler hardly any extra sugar compared to small varieties. Take for instants apples the best variety is the Russet apple, the very ugly small mostly brown apple with some green on it. Russet apples are legit crisp, they are very very sweet with a slight hint of tart there texture is great that holds shape/can take a beating. Once again they are ugly as sin and very small apples, companies want GMO patented breeds with huge fruit uniform in shape and a bright colour. This way they can force everyone into buying their breed at 20-50X a normal heirloom sapling, while also forcing insane contracts making you a slave that has to obey 100% of the contract or else. They can change said contract whenever they want forcing you to update or no one will buy your fruit. Companies do this to farmers all the time now so they are always indebt and forced to buy from these companies because they give on "credit". Oh also you grow your own lovely X well enjoy someone trespassing on your land(yet again), claiming you stole their patent and are now being sued for 50m dollars. Because the pollen from the farm magically on the other side of town, well somehow a few of your X got infected with GMO poison plants. Which also means your farm is no longer organic or wtv. Fighting this in court is basically impossible because it costs so much, even if you have proof the same people have been repeated caught trespassing on your land at night. Very clearly infecting your plants with their companies fruits garbage pollen. And thanks to lobbying the government not only allows this it loves an enables most our products coming from a few companies who own everything. Enslave farmrs with debt, their companies that break stuff down and process it is always staffed mostly by illegals. As they blame covid for everything claiming they need to make everything much smaller in size and jack up the price. Even tho prices for X has been normal IE precovid prices for over 2 years. All while closing stuff down trying to move it over seas blaming prices in America being far far to high to make a profit. While "noname" brand products are making insane profits at atleast 50% the cost of brand name boomer garbage that is completely terrible quality if not banned for sale in every first world country. /autism rant

When the Cosmic Crisp was first introduced here in Washington State, the marketing hype machine was in full swing. Every newspaper and TV station was touting it as the best apple ever. So I spent an exorbitant amount of money (they way, way overpriced it) and bought one to try. Nope, it was too tart for my taste. Fuji and Royal Gala are already perfection when it comes to apple for me. The right amount of crispness, sweetness and tartness. My view is that Cosmic Crisp is a marketing spin machine to introduce a patented product that the developer can collect royalties on. That was the first, and last Cosmic Crisp for me. I'm sticking with the time tested Fuji and Royal Gala.

This breeding technique is so old, I almost wouldn't call it science anymore 😂. With apples, you basically throw stuff at a wall and see what sticks. Their seeds essentially hold all "apple" DNA, it takes thousands of plants just to find one that isn't bitter. Sure, they started with a baseline idea of what they wanted from 2 variety, but they got lucky to find that collaboration 😉

[@hendrix4259]

​@@davidmclay6182 well genetics is science and breeding is all possible with the knowledge in genetics and that makes your statement wrong and arbitrary

[@davidmclay6182]

@hendrix4259 you must not understand how we breed different plants, it is ok. I'll dumb this down because I never said it wasn't science. This apple came from the oldest way possible to breed them though, stick seeds in the ground and hope for a sweet variety. If you don't know, apple seeds will not produce fruit like what it came from, it will make a very random apple tree, nothing like its parent. So they just planted trees until they found something desirable.
