You’ve got a point, Blueberry. However, an average North American can grow apples pretty easily. They hawk acai, noni, and other exotic stuff because they know you CAN’T grow it. They get all the profit. So in many ways, apples are cheap, delicious, convenient and portable-comparable in convenience to and much cheaper than potato chips. Calville Blanc D’hiver has more vitamin C than an orange! Crabapples and small apples have more nutrition, because almost all of the nutrition is in the peel. No corporation wants to know how much nutrition is in a crabapple until they sell it to you in a pill. They don’t make $ off of it. They are more expensive to sell, because it takes more labor to pick small apples. But if you’re relaxing after a hard day of work by eating one in your yard, it’s a form of therapy, that they make no $ off of.
