Here's to Ugly Fruit! A Photo of Our Homegrown Organic Lemon

Posted Aug 26 2008 11:36pm

Apples (and lemons) used to be round-ish and not so shiny. Now they are perfectly shaped and perfectly shiny. No one wants ugly fruit. It takes energy and chemicals to make those perfect apples. But if it’s not perfect, no-one wants it.Except for those that want organic. Remember when fresh food was just called food? Now it’s organic. It costs more. So now you’ve got to work harder to make more money to buy organic ‘environmentally friendly’ fruit. Working harder begets a better job begets more expensive vacations begets more consumption.If only we’d just eaten the ugly fruit.
