This is a question First World Problems

Onemunki says: We live in a world of genuine tragedy, starvation and terror. So, after hearing stories of cruise line passengers complaining at the air conditioning breaking down, what stories of sheer single-minded self-pity get your goat?

I have never tasted any difference except with celery...
The normal one tasted like chemicals and ugh. But then again it was from Morrisons who I suspect hide vegetables before selling them for the exact amount of time to mean they go off as soon as you get them out of the bag and in to your fridge.

But celery tastes like it does because it's packed full of poison
to deter anything from eating it.

And "chemicals"? What does that mean? It's so unspecific. Much veg is washed in the packing plant in a water bath with chlorine in it and then packed. I doubt that anyone could tell that the celery had been treated with a pesticide/fungicide because that would have been done during the growing process and long before it was picked.

Now I could be wrong but the science bit says that the amount of chemical present in the flesh of plants like celery is in the minuscule parts per million concentrations that humans are unable to detect if it's there at all.

Still, Morrisons.... as you say...
