Apples to Apple Sauce

Through the years that I grew up on my family dairy farm, we had an apple tree in the backyard. On my way walking to the barn and walking back from chores, that is where you found me every summer morning. I would grab an apple to eat. Throughout the day I would also make a trip out there sometime to grab another apple. There was nothing like picking and eating a fresh apple from our apple tree. As I got older and entered high school and college, my consumption of apples became much lower and the consumption of applesauce started to take off. According to Micheal Pollan, apples sauce is the "fake food" of apples. Applesauce is much more convenient to eat and it stores for a much longer period of time. As Brandon Whitney agrees with Pollan, Americans eat for connivance, not for nutrition or leisure. He also explains how we are eating the "fake foods" more then the real foods because it is cheaper to do so. I agree with both Pollan and Whitney because I am a college student so I eat the cheapest foods, which is usually the "fake foods". I also agree because it is much more delicious to eat applesauce because there is sugar added to it and even cinnamon sometimes. It is not just pure sugar though. There are a lot of the same nutrients and vitamins in apple sauce as there is in apples such as Vitamin A, protein, and Vitamin C. I still eat apples, but just not as much as applesauce. When I am home I eat nothing but apples because my family does not but many "fake foods" such as applesauce.
