Introducing the Frankenapple

Designed by British Columbia-based Okanagan Specialty Fruits, the new
"Arctic" apple -- or what critics are calling the "botox apple," reports
Gawker -- is said to have "silencing" enzymes, which would prevent it
from looking old, no matter how old it gets. While this may be arguably
okay for foreheads, we take it most people would rather know when their
food is past its prime. Just like waxing fruit and piping nitrogen into
fish to make it look younger, preventing fruit to brown would no longer
allow us to know when it's gone bad.

Sad to think this issue needs to be in a curriculum.

I have to go 20 miles to get cider that is not pasteurized used to be
6 miles 5 years ago. I believe germ paranoia is a part of our quality
food decline. Still some folks that say cleanliness is next to
godliness are sort of not understanding that our immune systems need
challengers to be strong.
I contend playing in a dirty sand box is good and living in a sterile
world is bad.
