nature is variance. only commercial growing will make things taste the same.

not to mention whenever i eat a homegrown fruit or vegetable it tastes so much more vibrant than anything I’ve had at the supermarket.

for plant foods yes.

for meat it is different, usuallu people do not like to eat it without applying technology (heating (baking), salting, spicing with plant products, saucing with plant products) to it.

we do not actually like meat in its raw form, or when we have to manually strip it from animal bones.
