“ Indoctrination or Ignorance? 28-Year-Old Woman Learns You Can Eat Fruit From a Tree“
And that’s how we got in trouble back in The Garden.
” Eat Fruit From a Tree”
eeewwwww ... that’s nasty ...
like eating right off a bush ...
or things growing in dirt.
While I’d chalk it up to ignorance, I’m sure Big Agra would rather us not discover that we can eat fruit from trees for free.
I wouldn’t just pick a piece of fruit off a tree and eat it. I’d certainly wash or peel it first. No telling what kinds of pesticides or other chemicals might be on it.
AOC?
I had a “hobby orchard” of a dozen plum, apple, pear, peach, nectarine, lemon, and olive trees when the kids were young specifically to show the kids where food came from, how it was grown, tended, and harvested.
My great grandparents were orchardists and packers in Creston, BC from 1904 to 1969. Back then it was mostly immigrants (and first and second generation descendants) from England. We were up there 18 months ago and now it’s all owned by people from SE Asia. Sigh.
A bunch of nitwits are currently whining about it because being outdoors is a white people thing? Yeah, I thought they were the ones that were not in tune with nature but consistency seems to be a hobgoblin to their small minds. So, whatever.
Anyway this clip shows that this kind of thing is still needed. People do not know where their food comes from. At all.
Well, fruit can’t be eaten until it has been “processed” by the grocery store. I thought everyone knew that.
When I was 5, I, by mistake, learned that fruit needs to ripen before eating them off the tree. I mistook green cherries for white ones. OOPS!

It would be so comical if not so sad.
Oh Dear Lord. The ignorance is mind boggling. If I hadn’t seen the video, I’m not sure I’d have believed it.
I almost get where she is coming from. She thought that they needed to be processed in some way.
Dyes are added to citrus fruit rinds, and maybe they are washed, but I doubt there is much more that happens to the fruit.
Bump
More likely its just another BS Tik-Tok content producer saying stupid things to get attention.
I grew up eating tangerines and plums from our backyard trees. Get those kids into 4H, even if they are suburban. They will learn all about where food comes from.
Seems like a whole lot of people on this thread would starve if things fell apart.
I grew up in the city of Rochester - we knew where all the apple/plum/cherry/peach/pear/apricot/mulberries/grapes and other “delicacies” grew and when they were ripe....
