I bet there's going to be a lot of varied takes on this. For me, I avoid foods cooked in a microwave. I know microwaves have been around for 40+ years now, but I'm not convinced it's harmless and I feel like it takes the 'energy' out of food. I won't even boil water in one. Hard to avoid when you dine at restaurants, and I can usually tell if it's been zapped after being cooked because all the food is just way too hot. I've had a couple of instances at restaurants where they mention on the menu that the kitchen does not have a microwave (not related to pacemakers, but rather that the food is cooked slowly and traditionally).

It doesn't matter to me what you do. I'm not going to turn on the oven when it's in the 90s. I'm not going to boil water on the stove when it's in the 90s and humid with a high dew point.
I've read books that discuss the nutritional value of fresh produce versus produce grown and shipped. In my own way I give thanks to the food I grow in my garden, and based upon what I have read, it is more nutritionally dense than anything I buy in the store.

I always make sure that I grow enough tomatoes for daily, weekly use. I can't buy that taste.

Last year I planted a slice of a tomato that I bought in our local farmer's market, and had lovely tomatoes all that summer and fall. I think I ended up with 8 plants - all grown indoors. This year I didn't bother and know I'll be sorry, especially when the farmer's market quits next month. You're right. You can't buy that taste, although Campari tomatoes come pretty close. I can buy them by the punnet in our local supermarket.

Yes, Campari tomatoes are the best that can be found at the market.
Yes! Compari tomatoes are the closest in flavor to my home grown, which since i moved to the coast, I can't grow anymore. I just wish they were bigger.

Wait, you grew tomatoes from just a slice of a tomato? How does that happen? I would think that it would just rot and die off? It would most likely for me I’m pretty sure. Was it in a pot/container or ground? If you’re not a YouTuber for gardening, you should be …. Or a magician.

Read about this somewhere. A little bit of dirt is involved. This year, we got surprise tomatoes from compost heap dirt.
