13. I find Myth #1 really galling

since most of the "fresh fruits" sold in supermarkets were picked so green that there is no flavor to them. The only way to taste peaches is canned and the only way to taste strawberries is frozen. Agribusiness has killed off any fresh fruits that don't grow in your specific area and oh lordy, the prices they charge for them.

The other myths are due to food fads and junk science and are just silly.
