Tomatoes-on-the-vine

Another pet peeve of mine at the grocery store, aside from the small-eggs-sold-as medium-or-large, is vine-ripened-tomatoes, as tomatoes-on-the-vine are sometimes labeled, which I learned are tomatoes allowed to ripen on the vine in shipment rather than off the vine which are also allowed to ripen in shipment, that is to say, there is no substantial difference in texture or taste.  Check out this wonderful full account:  <http://tcpermaculture.com/site/2013/05/14/vine-ripened-tomatoes-yet-another-lie-by-modern-ag/>.
