        Cane and Abel tells us the gods don’t like vegetable farmers, that want meat

        Meat doesn’t damage your teeth

        Incidentally the damage from sugar is fermentation - it makes carbonic acid (the stuff that makes soda fizzy) which is a weaker acid than citric

        Citrus didn’t make it to Europe quickly - it came from China

          If an all-knowing creator didn’t want humans to eat fruit from a specific tree, he shouldn’t have grown that tree in the only garden he had humans in.

              Oh, right. The obedience only matters if you have to make yourself do it. It doesn’t count if it’s natural and painless and costs you nothing. Can’t believe I forgot about that?

                It doesn’t seem you believe in much. Be at peace with your natural choices. There will always be a cost

        Oranges don’t exist naturally, was the point I was making. Theyre a hybrid, derived at least partly from pomelo.

          You are right, it’s just that in Spanish a “pomelo” is a grapefruit, and I was unaware of the whole rabbit hole that is the hybridwtion of the pomelo, mandarin, citrus and all that. I deleted my old comment because I was just confused.

            No worries, I don’t know all the details and looking more deeply, it looks to be more complicated than I was remembering too.
