Why not to eat just fruits? Why a kind of juice is necessary?
- nine_k 8y agoJuice is way easier to preserve. Also, less messy to consume. If apples or oranges can last a week in a basket, grapes, or peaches, or many other fruit would not. So it's easy to convince yourself that juice is almost like the fruit, or at least lets you feel some of its pleasant taste. Like many things, it's higher concentration than our bodies are naturally adapted to, so it's easy to over-consume (a pint instead of a half a cup).
- maxxxxx 8y agoIt seems people are trained to believe that food always needs some kind of processing. I often eat raw bell peppers and tomato pieces at work and judging from the comments people seem to never even have thought of that as possibility. Right now the best are bottled teas like "Honest Tea" for $3 a pop at lunch. You can get something much better by buying some nice tea and brewing it yourself. And it probably costs only 5 cents instead of $3.

- westiseast 8y agoBecause juice tastes good. Fruit tastes good, and juice is a 10x more cool, watery, refreshing, and sweet. Anyone who says chugging a half litre of cold apple juice after a long run isn’t heaven on earth is dead inside.
