Interesting to discover that the apple that we eat does not just come from the local grocery store. There is an apple tree. Then who planted the tree and tended it during its growth? Who picked the apple and packed for market? What about all the different varieties of apples? How did the one that is in my hands become my choice? We don't ask ourselves these questions when we bite into the delicious fruit we hold in our hands, we just take the bite. Some just enjoy the fruit and some begin their lifelong work in the orchard.

I think it might make us appreciate the labor and love behind the food we eat if we considered your questions!
