I hardly ever need to. Sometimes a I need an IN, but rarely an OR. And I'm not saying remove AND and OR, just make any additional WHEREs act as ANDs.

When I'm testing out filters I'm usually starting with WHERE 1=1 and add all conditions with an AND.
But I can see what you're getting at.

Looks to me just a simple matter of different syntax. One does not appear to be any more succinct or easier to read than the other.

Swap the simple example for a real query and you'll be seeing complete proza.

Don't use that convoluted Linq syntax and instead just use the static methods. Code looks way cleaner that way.

Shouldn't it become item.Type == "Produce" ?

It's not spam.
It's not trolling.
It's KSS.
Still, there must surely be a way to report you for this and induce punishment.

Funny! I felt this way the other day whilst my colleague presented a demo for a fairly new web application...customer asks, 'can it do x,y, and z?' Without hesitation, my colleague answered 'yes, yes, and yes...it can give you any statistics you need.' Meanwhile, I'm thinking 'no, no it can't! It was never designed for that. What you are talking about is a new project altogether!' Once again, I will have to backup that alligator mouth!

Dunno, still prefer the young Kirk's solution to the Kobayashi Maru exercise as the benchmark.
btw: If you haven't figured it out it's the programmer/engineer that is the real idiot,
perpendicular green lines in red & transparent ink is not that hard.
Example solution in black (too lazy to play colors):
1. green lines
2. green lines
3. green lines
4. green lines
...
Always give the customer what they ask for, even if it's not what they expect, because then:
1. they have to pay for it (contract fulfilled - of course you wrote down what they said and they signed it and then
2. you get to charge them again to do it as what they wanted (best not to iterate, less chance of new work from them)
