Give me Vegetables

I can't claim to know the first thing about farming and fruit & vegetable growing, but I do know that whatever it is they're doing to my precious greens, it leaves them with little to no taste.
Note to the source: I don't care if the apple is not round or shiny enough, ok? I want it to taste like a fresh, juicy, succulent apple. I don't care if the lettuce is not in a sealed bag and, I want it to be of a deep green color, and I'll deal with the bugs, thank you.
Why don't they have open air markets in every neighbourhood of every US city? Why must we purchase fake vegetables in a grocery store?
I really miss Evropa.
