  1. I love orange juice and drink it regularly. But doctors I've been to cry about how its sugars are bad and people follow that. Never mind that the currently popular energy drinks are loaded with far-worse added sugars.

    Also, including the "climate change" excuse regardless of its true pertinence in discussions is grating. Citrus canker and changing consumer tastes have NOTHING to do with climate change.

  2. Pure false. This year is a BUMPER CROP of citus. US orange prices have fallen to 99c a pound. Citrus farmers can't afford to pick them, so they apply for FEMA "Disaster" Insurance taken from our paychecks.
