Not surprising really. While i'm not clear on Korea, did you know most of the food sold in Canadian grocery stores contains a HUGE amount of GM ingredients. IS this a social issue ??? Do ppl discuss this or demand accurate labelling ??? Apparently not
Most apathetick Canucks seem too sedate & doped up even to care.
Here, i've noticed the crappy insta-mix coffee ( and even sometimes my toothpaste ) often tastes like dirt or MOLD  |

Early picked fruits here often are tasteless such as peaches and nectarines. Bananas I find ripen the day after I buy them and I end up throwing half of them in the freezer... too much benzene (used to pre-ripen them).
Ginseng tastes like dirt. |
