you underestimate the power of bioscience: I can easily imagine 
genetically-altered strawberries the size of basket balls with a thick 
skin, so that they can be harvested with machines. Consider how different 
commercial strawberries are already -- compared to wild strawberries. The 
latter are smaller than small marbles and have much more intense taste.
