Life didn’t give us lemons, we gave lemons life

Never in a million years would I have imagined that a scuba diver would tell me that oranges and bananas are not natural.

Edit : 90k likes and still counting ….. I’m glad you guys found this weird comment funny 😅. Got to start my stand up comedy career 😂

If selective breeding is “not natural” nothing is. Even humans are not natural in this case because even we are selective when it comes to our breeding partners

[gregdshot]

And I am eternally grateful to those who bred the fruits.

"Baby i'm not small. I'm just ✨ANCESTRAL✨"

Plot twist: ancestral bananas were also the product of how monkeys interacted with them so that their seeds can keep spreading

[iamkaynan]

Tell those people who made the fruit the way it is now, THANK YOU!

[aimster]

Aren't humans themselves the product of human selective breeding? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that all these foods are still okay to eat. Just be aware of the nutritional value of what's available for you to eat TODAY. I don't know about you but I don't have access to ancestral fruits.

*oh… just like bananas, plantains, lettuce, grains, watermelons, and 99% of other fruits and veggies…*
*its called agriculture and we domesticated plants thousands of years ago, I thought everyone else learned this in school…*

Selecting the best genetics in fruit does not mean that it is not natural. Over time this can occur by mere nature. What makes it unnatural is the modifications with chemicals and preservatives.

[KhalidCabrero]

All citrus fruits are hybrids of three natural fruits you can still buy: the pomello, the citron and the mandarin.

[BangMaster]

This dress is not natural. Such dresses do not exist in nature. This is a result of selective shopping.

[kuulStories]

Selective Breeding doesn't make something UNNATURAL. it means we examined what nature gave us and selected what fit our needs and focused on making more of those.

[GranolaApples]

The way she had described this sounds so strange. These fruits are still natural and very healthy. There is a very weird stigma around the foods we eat today, compared to “ancestral” foods.

[instantbeansoup]

That’s awesome! I am very grateful for people who bred seedless bananas.

[enthusedfern]

I'm pretty sure selective breeding does not necessarily equate to "unnatural". That is a minimization of the science behind this long standing agricultural practice.

[CreatorProductionsOriginal]

Who looked at apple and went “Damn, you know what we should do? Breed these for years to make a bigger and better one” instead of looking for better fruits

[LGMx]

Why I always laugh at the anti-gmo crowd. Literally every modern fruit/vegetable is a GMO

[witchypoo]

We selectively bred our produce not taste like garbage so we can actually enjoy getting all of our nutritional needs met. I love that for us
