Why do people think they have to drink crappy, poisonous apple juice from China?

9. If I had kidlets, this is what I would do:

First of all, I would cancel any cable/satellite boobtube service and pocket that money (sometimes $100 a month or more!) for better quality of foods. I would feed my kids whole fruits instead of apple juice, which is isolated from the fiber and therefore the sugar goes right into the system. No fiber, either. And the peels of apples contain many antioxidants, FYI.

Want to give kids good juice? Right now where I live (NOT in FL, either!) grapefruit is .39 a pound! Juice grapefruit and you have RAW juice with all the enzymes intact, as well as vitamins! And do this for whatever is in season. Invest in a good juicer when you have the extra money. And in the fall when apples are very cheap (go to ethnic produce markets for most of your produce; they have the best quality and deals), get a lot of apples at this time. You can even store them in a cellar or garage if you have one. Buy in season is my point.
