Artificial Fruits

[Maria]

A lot of fruits we eat today are actually genetically modified fruit? Do you know orange is not a natural fruit, it was created artificially. Even the popular fruits like apple and banana are not natural fruits, they were artificially created through cross-pollination and genetic engineering.

This is something I knew about. I think it is a shame that most foods are messed with like they are and that we do not have much of anything natural so to speak.

I still eat fruits as they are still good for you.

I've definitely been more thoughtful about buying organic, especially for berries like blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries.

I remember reading an article once that Dole conducted a study and identified 37 shades of yellow for it's banana to find the one that looks the most palatable to humans. It's incredible how much food research goes in to the simplest of foods.

It is worrisome that we have cases where some of the fruits that we considered healthy to our health are indeed not healthy as we thought that they are. This is the first time I am reading about banana having over 30 shades of yellow, and I have concluded that it is better to study well about the different species before buying them again.

A lot of food that we consume were developed in labs, but a lot of food also went through evolutionary process. Just like we developed from apes, food also developed and evolved. Unless it is something like 3d printing and completely created in labs, I don't mind these artificial foods
