Haha, another good one. Hadn't really thought this deeply about the apple but I mostly agree with your sentiment. I think for most people food is about convenience. They don't want to think about it. Apples are super convenient to eat. Pick it up and bite into it.

Love the rant. Favorite line, "Picture the untouched vegan options every caterer oversupplies out of fear."

I'm convinced René Magritte painted "Son of Man" so it opens this apple rage masterpiece one day. I lost it at Michael Pollan. What a delightful hate speech 😅

Truth: "Apples do not keep doctors away. Our decisions do." Love it.

Have you heard of the Dirty Dozen/Clean Fifteen lists? You may be interested in them based on this essay!
