"They started demanding that varieties have a longer shelf life, so for example in the case of a tomato, it has a thicker skin, so the skins don’t split more easily; a tomato that perhaps ripens faster, that can absorb more water.

And this is part of the reason why tomato skins are so hard for humans to digest!

This is the problem - there needs to a principle higher than that of making money - especially when it comes to food production!
