Your section on "Is a fruit cup 'Real Food'" is not accurate in regards to the nutritional value of the Del Monte canned fruit. The nutrition facts panels that are pictured clearly state 0g of added sugar, which means the product has not been sweetened at all. And your statement about fructose assaulting the liver is an oversimplification and quite frankly just fear mongering.

If you want to demonize canned fruit, then at least show products that are packed in light syrup and have the nutrition facts to show. Canned fruit with 0g of added sugar has a lot of nutrition to offer.

Unfortunately we have “leaders” who cannot understand the financial dynamics of much of anything. Here in the Northwest we are short guest worker permitted labor (I’ll let you guess why), so the apple and cherry harvests will not be completed before the fruit is compromised … will likely end up as juice in fruit cups

Finding fresh organic pears in grocery stores is rare. Spending Aug- Oct in Italy to eat well for 3 months.
