Fruit Discrimination by Boston University

Richland Gourmet Apple Blogger/Contributor

Can you believe it?  A chief research MRI technologist at Boston University’s School of Medicine scanned exotic fruit; from the likes of pineapples, melons, and even bananas to artichokes but he didn’t use his highly sophisticated scanning equipment on a granny smith apple.

I mean granted, according to a 2004 report1, it is ranked 13th in the world as far as health benefits go.   But is that truly a reason to exclude the granny smith apple from his diagnostic-magnetic-resonance-imaging-at-work-science-project?  I think not!!!!  Oh I know what it is; its ageism isn’t it???

It’s because our apples are elders amongst the global fruit community that we’ve been discriminated against.  It’s because our ‘granny’ smith apples have a hard core isn’t it?  And sure, if you were to slice her down the middle, you’d only see a few seeds but does that really justify Mr. Ellison’s exclusion of apples

No, she may not be leafy and fleshy and look all cool under the protocols and parameters of his highly sophisticated magnetic resonance scanning equipment; but I dare anyone to say that our Appleologists™ have not done their very best to give her a face lift.  I mean once they pour that luscious chocolate on top of her pores and smack a few golden cashews on top, we’ll put her up against that wonderfully tilted pineapple he so tenderly sliced down the middle in his video.  And once we dip her in some pink gooey caramel; oh yes, then Mr. Andrew Ellison, Mr. Chief Research MRI Technologist of Boooooston’s University’s School of Medicine will come calling then - won’t he?

But if he doesn’t, you’ll still purchase a few of our gourmet candy apples for the elders in your life won’t you?  You won’t discriminate and practice fruit ageism with our gourmet caramel apples, will you?  Of course you won’t!  To buy a few, click here and oh yeah to take a look at Mr. Andrew “I Make Fruit Presentations on Highly Sophisticated Scanning Equipment’ Ellison’s video2, look below and be sure to follow his unusually artistic and medicinally creative blog.  And if you're in the Miami area, be sure to check out Dr. Aaron Palmateer speak at the Museum of Science on Diagnostic Fruit Pathology at 3280 South Miami Avenue, June 12th.  For more info
