Here's an interview with the author - Barry Estabrook. Sad, but true, the tomato has succumbed to industrial farming and it ain't what it used to be. Moral of the story: If you can, grow your own. I do and they are delicious.

It's time to eat with the seasons. And, it doesn't get much better than this. Go to your local fruit and veggie stand and get some tangelos, grapefruits, pears, cantaloupes, tomatoes, and asparagus. 

Of course, there are a lot of other fruits and veggies that are delicious. Try 'em all!
