Seedless you say? Who wants melons?

Sorry to digress, though, but I notice Coles are advertising that they don’t “freeze or thaw” any of their fresh produce. I can’t actually think of any fresh produce that can be frozen and thawed and then be passed off as fresh to unsuspecting customers.

What are they getting at ?

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just putting an appealing angle on what to some people (like Fabforty) is simply a plain fact.

Similarly, have you noticed all those adverts and labels for chicken that boast about not adding hormones? That hormone-adding was actually done away with in Australia in the 1970s.* But lots of people don’t know that, so it’s easy to make this following of practice sound like a feature rather than standard.

*I know some people don’t believe this law is carried out and are all ‘that’s what they want you to think’, but those people usually don’t believe the labels and ads anyway.

it’s not racist…. it’s just that the darker ones get to camp out (with fire) in fron of OPH and vent their fustrations to tourists who visit this wonderful city, while the white ones get sold for $1.99 per Kg at Fyshwick.

If anyone knows where to get “seeded” watermelon, please advise. I was lucky enough to taste some old-fashioned watermelon about a year ago and it had much more flavour than these new varieties. I had forgotten how much flavour they used to have.

I suppose these may go the way of the giant strawberry, which has somehow reclaimed its taste. When these first hit the shelves, they were bland-as but then suddenly, the genetic modificationarians appeared to hit on a tasty mutation.

Still racist.

Ahhh, so the seeds don’t exist because they are black? Racist.

No, the seeds don’t exist because they aren’t black.

Seedless is a variety that has been bred to have undeleloped seeds that you can eat. i would be mush more worried about the sign in this same shop that says “hand picked beans”when you can clearly see the cuts on the beans from the machine picker. the cost difference is about $6/kg for hand or machine picked green beans

So if you eat the seed they don’t exist? But how do you eat them if they don’t exist?
