Huh. I guess there are people who moralize about apple varieties.
Lamenting that a clearly inferior product dominates a market is not "moralizing".
Yeah but to use a word like "lament" or "inferior" you're kind of already moralizing.

Re: The Awful Reign of the Red Delicious (2014)
#12Interesting read, I have always preferred green apples to red apples. I even distinctly remember a day in kindergarten where we did a taste test - almost everyone in the class picked the green apples. I had never really understood why red apples were so popular, I hadn't realized there was a dominant type of red apple or what it's backstory was. I'll have to try a Honey Crisp or Gala next time I'm at the supermarket.

#13I happen to like Red Delicious since they produce a satisfying crunch without being tart (like green apples) or mushy (like gala). I'm surprised this article is using a personal preference to criticize an entire variety and industry.

Fuji are also good, but yeah, honeycrisp are definitely the tastiest apple I have ever eaten... I was brought up on galas and golden delicious and I had no idea that apples could taste as good as a honeycrisp does

Fujis are also delicious, and very widely available.

Honeycrisp fits this bill for me - in fact it stays crunchy much longer than RedD.
