Meet the Remarkable Inventor of
“Smart Fruit”
Interviewer: Elana Horwitz
We are privileged to host this exclusive interview with the original inventor of “Smart Fruit”.
Q. We have seen that the production of one of your apples or oranges, for example, is a process so infinitely complex that it beggars the achievements of the greatest chemical manufactories, and confounds the most proficient technologists. What is the essence of your creative method?
A. I pack all my machinery into the tiny space of each seed.
Q. One seed - that is amazing, and never been duplicated yet!
Tell us a little bit about your efficient methods of packaging and salespersonship.
A.Take, for example, my invention of the fruit peel. It outrivals the modern metal can and the waxed carton.
Initially, the peel provides a protective green color to conceal the unripe fruit among the tree’s leaves. Then, when the fruit develops and becomes edible, the peel transforms into an attractive and conspicuous bright color (red, yellow, orange, blue, purple) to announce fitness for eating.
The color of the peel also adds much zest to its contents - drab-gray bananas, for instance, would be far less appetizing, don’t you think?
A special coating covers each fruit peel to keep the fruit airtight and waterproof, for the fruit immediately, after being peeled, begins decaying.
The peel uniquely labels and identifies its contents - and the colors on my fruits do not come off.
The peel’s fragrance, as well, attracts consumers and adds to their pleasure. My interest is bringing pleasure to my customers! No other packaging on the market is produced with fragrant odors.
The can and carton give no fair warning of spoilage, but the color of my fruit peel apprises the prospective eater if the contents have decayed.
My fruit peels are biodegradable and present no disposal problem. The packaging materials are recyclable - they automatically convert into fertilizer and soil.
Q. Pardon me, but why is your potato so drably colored?
A. Just as the ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables are brightly colored in order to encourage the consumer to “seize and eat” them, so do the not-ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables NOT have attractive colors. The plain appearance of these products engenders patience and encourages waiting until they are prepared and made fit to eat.
Q. But your watermelon is not brightly colored, although it is ready to eat.
A. The products in my line of larger fruits are not single-servings, or one-person morsels. They intentionally do not tempt immediate eating, for then the remaining fruit would go to waste, especially in the absence of reliable refrigeration. These larger fruits are intended for a group such as a family - their plain color urges patience until the group assembles.
Q. Why, although the watermelon seeds are dispersed throughout the entire flesh of the fruit, are they not found in the rind?
A. The eaters cannot avoid the necessity of spitting out the seeds - and thus the species is disseminated. Were I to place the seeds in the rind, this would not happen - the seeds would be discarded with the rind and would not be spread.
Q. Then why are the strawberry seeds on the outside skin, but not in the flesh of the fruit?
A. Because the entire strawberry is eaten, and the seeds survive the trip through the intestines and are thus planted wherever the feces are deposited. It’s all part of my master plan.
Q. It seems obvious, just marveling at your products, how much intelligent planning went into them. How can you explain recent allegations of fraud in your company?
A. These allegations are not limited to recent fears and anxieties, but have existed, oh, since time immortal. The clumsy fabrications of my doubters are pasted together by illogic. They claim accidents of adaptation and sudden mutation to account for my unique achievements. But my products speak for me. They are purposeful and amazingly efficient.
Q. Then how can some people fail to recognize this?
A. They block and conceal this information because if they were to recognize my inventions, they would have to relate to me. It’s a matter of feeling threatened.
Q. How long did it take you to perfect your unique formula?
A. No time at all, really. Once I chose the right time to go public, I had my formula on the market in its final perfected form within six days.
Q. What are some health benefits of your fruit and vegetable inventions?
A. Harvey and Marilyn Diamond explain these benefits in their well- known book Fit For Life. Your body is seventy percent water. You must have water for survival. Only two foods produced on this earth have a very high water content. They are my fruits and my vegetables.
All the nutritional requirements that the human body has - all the vitamins, minerals, proteins, amino acids, enzymes, carbohydrates, and fatty acids that exist, that the human body needs to survive - are to be found in my fruits and vegetables.
These foods also perform the essential function of cleansing the body of wastes. Everything has to be washed if you want it to be clean. In all likelihood, you took a bath or shower today. If you didn’t, well, then you probably took one yesterday or will take one tomorrow. Same with your clothes - you wash them. You wash your car, or you would not be able to see through the window to drive. That is how dirty it would become. That is how dirty anything would become if it were not washed.
Guess what one thing is often not washed and cleaned on a regular basis? The inside of your body! The outside of the body is washed, but the inside, which is far more important, is not washed.
The only way this can be done is by eating foods that are high in water content. Drinking water won’t do it, because drinking water does not carry the enzymes and other life-preserving elements into the body that the water in my fruits and vegetables does.
Q. How may you be contacted?
A. Only through self-knowledge, and study of my miraculous inventions, can you know me. And only by understanding my methods, through my original works, can you hope to know yourself.
