You can certainly make an argument for young kids, i.e. teaching fractions and literally how to count (counting seconds).
Teenagers? No, not really. They’ll all have phones or something to tell the time by a certain age and hopefully they know their fractions / how to count. It might as well just be digital at that point.
You mean to say it’s stigmatized as a bad thing, and I’d accept that.
There’s an apple called Cosmic Crisp that has to be the worst thing I’ve seen come from the Honeycrisp variant of apple. Genuinely just awful taste and texture, like it’s got sand in it.
That being said, these are only a problem at supermarkets. Farmers markets are hard carries and don’t typically have the ‘grown for shelf life’ produce you see at your typical Walmart.
