Dessert tonight was a fresh (well, supermarket-fresh) nectarine. It was ripe, juicy, and delicious, and it came with a little sticker proclaiming it to be "organic" and "sugar-free."
I don't know which is more disturbing to contemplate: the notion of genetically-engineered fruit with artificial sweeteners built in; the idea that ordinary produce-section fruit might be injected with sugar-water; or the idea that the American public is gullible enough to fall for a label like that.
EDIT: alternatively, I can't read. On closer inspection, the label says "Sugar Tree".
