I live near Germany! I agree with eating ripe fruits!

I live in apple region, and grape: if you see what I see, you won't even touch an apple or wine or grape made here... And it's still small tiny farms compared to huge farms in the US or South America.

A couple of years ago, an engineer working for the agro-business gave a lecture on his previous work: he built and checked for fruit storage facilities: basically, he did the technical maintenance of apple storage places around the Lake of Konstanz region (where I live).

He said that the storage facility of apples are all the same: huge buildings that are tight boxes, with poisonous gas to preserve apples, so that they last years.

Before he comes workers open small windows on top, and the gas escape.

They're pretty strict about waiting time, before he can step inside for technical inspection, or he'll get poisoned himself.

He said that after working with that, he got disgusted, and changed job and carrier.

I test fruits and veggies energetically, and never found an apple or pear that tests good, unless organic. Same for potatoes: they feel radioactive, almost.
