I Mourn for Lemons


All the lemons now are GMO, from California. Florida no longer exists. They have a skin half an inch thick. You can hit them with a hammer and they won't be damaged. You can set them in a sunny window for a month and they won't soften. You need three lemons to get the juice you used to get out of one. And you need a pair of pliers to juice one of them.

The shipper no longer needs to incur any losses due to shipping damage. These lemons could survive a crash landing on the Moon. The shipper's profits are up. The supermarket no longer needs to incur any losses due to spoilage. These things will look the same in a month as they do today. Supermarket profits are up. The losses have been passed along to you. The only thing that's down is the quality of the product.

Thanks a bunch Monsanto! May you soon rot in Hell!

  1. I'm with you on this one, Ed! Lots of the fruit that is so wonderfully available year 'round is AWFUL. People think they are getting "fresh" fruit when it is really almost fossilized!
